During the session, and without terminating voice call, an image captured by the first device may be transmitted to the second device. Prior to transmission of the image from the first device to the second device, the first device obtains from the second device image quality criteria indicative of the ability of the second device to display received images. The first device modifies (if required) the image data in accordance with the image quality criteria prior to sending the image data to the second device. In this manner, the image data sent to the second device is adjusted and optimised for the display capabilities of the second device. This will allow for the best quality image to be displayed on the second device and/or will prevent waste of network resources (for example, by not transmitting image data which cannot be displayed by the second device).

IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM

Facsimile jack for selectively routing transmissions through a facsimile network

A facsimile jack selectively routes a facsimile transmission over a packet switched digital network including a source point of presence (source POP) which is local to a facsimile machine sending the facsimile transmission and a destination point of presence (destination POP) which is local to a facsimile machine receiving the facsimile transmission. The facsimile jack is connected between a facsimile machine and a telephone jack and includes a processor which determines if a destination number of the facsimile transmission is serviced by the facsimile network. If the destination number is long distance and is serviced by the facsimile network, the processor instructs a local number of the source POP to be dialed and the facsimile transmission to be sent through the source POP. If not, then other network route paths can be dialed (WATS, VPN, etc.). If a connection with other networks cannot be established either, then it dials the original number and connects the transmitting channel of the facsimile machine to the phone line. Even if the number is serviced by the network, a connection with the source POP may not be established an alternative routing paths selected if: the source POP is not operational and does not answer the incoming call; the source POP is saturated and cannot accept any additional incoming calls; the destination POP is saturated and cannot service any additional traffic; the destination POP is not operational; or the source POP or the facsimile network cannot respond with the proper initiation/training command sequence within a prescribed time-out period.
