System and Method for Guaranteed High Speed Fax Delivery with a Fax Adapter

摘要

A fax processing system improving the speed and reliability of fax transmissions by providing a new method of transmitting facsimile images, by encoding fax images with an embedded non-facsimile-communication-protocol/non-facsimile-image digital data bit signal using a fax ATA adapter that is connected to a facsimile device, where the signal bit is recognized by fax software at a fax service such that the original image data is transferred to the fax service via a secure link over a data communications network with notification by the fax service software.

主权项

1. A facsimile system for the real-time guaranteed delivery of facsimile image data at data communications speeds comprising: a facsimile ATA device further comprising the capability to encode non-facsimile-communication-protocol/non-facsimile-image digital data bits in image document, and to stream the facsimile image data over a data communications network; a software decoder program on non-transitory computer readable medium capable of: authenticating the non-facsimile-communication-protocol/non-facsimile-image digital data bits in the image data sent from the software encoder program; and wherein the facsimile ATA device is operably coupled to the software decoder program such that the software decoder program: reduces the facsimile transmission speed; establishes a secure internet link to stream the facsimile image data via internet connection; determines that the image data is completely received, sends a T.30 confirmation signal to the software encoder program, such that the sender is notified of the completion of the facsimile transmission.
