<p>A system and method is provided for automatically indexing facsimile transmissions in an image management system by applying telephony data 2 accompanying the fax transmission to index the transmission by use of a substitution table. In correlating telephony data functionally related to the sender identification to the image without having to read such data from the image itself by means of optical character recognition or the like, image data 12 is first transmitted in facsimile form to an image management system where it is received and stored. Simultaneously, telephony data 50 is received by the system associated with the image transmission. The system then processes the telephony data to detect the identity of the sender by means of a lookup table 62 correlating the telephony number to the sender, whereupon the received image data is thereby associated with the detected sender identification. In a particular embodiment, the telephony data will further include data functionally related to enabling detection of length of call, day, date, and/or length of transmission, such supplemental parameters being employed in the indexing process for routing of the received image. <IMAGE></p> |
