DELIVERY RECEPTION ACKNOWLEDGING METHOD AND DELIVERY RECEPTION ACKNOWLEDGING SYSTEM

摘要

A trace (53) reads an arrival original slip for which the reception is acknowledged, creates a reception acknowledgement image, and stores the reception acknowledgement image in an image file after relating the image to an inquiry number. When a terminal such as a PC (11) or a portable telephone (12) provided to the receiver requests for a reception acknowledgement through the input of the inquiry number or the facsimile number, a CPU (56) retrieves the reception acknowledgement image corresponding to the inquiry number from the terminal from the image file. A facsimile transmission unit (60) transmits the retrieved reception acknowledgement image and the inquiry number. A facsimile machine (13) installed on the receiver side receives the reception acknowledgement image and the inquiry number from the facsimile transmission unit (60) through a public line (3).
