MULTIPLE ADDRESS COMMUNICATION LOAD DECENTRALIZATION SYSTEM

摘要

PURPOSE:To decentralize readout loads on respective channel devices and storage devices, and to prevent call loss due to call congestion by reading out stored information out of the storage devices through several channel devices at different places when transmitting the information to plural receiving terminals. CONSTITUTION:A calling subscriber A dials a discrimination number for facsimile multiple address communication and plural addressee telephone numbers on a telephone set 1 to connect an exchange 7 to a facsimile storage converter 8, and call information is sent to the control and storage part 9 of the converter 8. Then, the storage part 9 sends a special signal to the telephone set 1 through the exchange 7 to instruct the calling subscriber A to connect the device 8 to a facsimile terminal 4. The terminal 4 transmits and receives transmission control signals to and from the storage part 9 and then facsimile signals are sent to the storage part 9 and a channel device 10. After the signals are stored in the storage part 9, the signals are grouped by some number of multiple address called subscribers on the basis of the call information and the signals are copied as many as the groups to decentralize a readout load.
