FAX SERVICE METHOD THROUGH MAILBOX NUMBER

摘要

PURPOSE: A fax service method through a mailbox number is provided to make a service subscriber receive a fax with usable receiving units such as a fax machine and a homepage, and to inform the subscriber of fax arrival. CONSTITUTION: A transmitter dials to a fax mailbox number of a service subscriber through a fax machine, to request fax transmission. A PGS(Pager Gateway System) of a wireless paging network searches a number band for a received call, and performs routing for the call to a corresponding UMS(Unified Message Server). The UMS confirms whether the routed call is for fax transmission, and transmits a fax tone to receive a fax. The UMS decides a receiving system set by the subscriber. If the receiving system is to process the received fax by being connected with the fax mailbox number, the fax is stored in an FMS(Fax Mail Server) dedicated to the fax mailbox. If the receiving system is to receive the fax to an E-mail, the received fax is converted to an image file and transmitted to an internet E-mail account of the corresponding subscriber in an E-mail attachment form.
