Abstract

See full text

An Internet communication control apparatus and its transmission control method is provided, to which communication terminals such as facsimile apparatuses and/or telephones are connected, that is connected to the Internet to perform transmission/reception with other communication terminals. When an off-hook state of a connected communication terminal is detected upon transmitting, a setting for dial tone signal reception is prepared, and the received signals are converted to a destination number. By checking the corresponding table, the destination number is converted into a destination address, and according to the content of the table, whether the communication is for facsimile transmission or telephone call is determined. According to the result of the determination, a facsimile process or telephone process is selectively performed so that the transmission operation does not seem abnormal and complicated.
