Method of Realizing network fax service, network fax system and application server

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for realizing network fax service, a network fax system and an application server. The method for realizing network fax service comprises that: a web server receives a fax document and a called fax machine number inputted by a user; the web server transmits the fax document to a media server, and transmits the called fax machine number and the address information of the fax document to the application server; and the application server controls soft switch to establish a fax channel between the media server and a called fax machine, and the called fax machine receives the fax document from the media server. The network fax service has the advantages of clear structure, simple arrangement and relay resource saving. Compared with the prior art, the method ismore suitable for operating enterprises to arrange the network fax service on a large scale.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to network facsimile technology, in particular to a method for realizing network facsimile service, a network facsimile system and a network facsimile application server. Background technique [0002] Internet fax service is a service in which Internet (Internet) users use network terminal equipment (such as computers, personal digital assistants, mobile phones, etc.) to send files to telephones (fax machines) with fax functions, or receive files from fax machines. The supported file formats can be basic document formats such as HTML, DOC, XLS, PPT, TXT, PDF, etc., or common graphic element formats such as BMP, JPG, TIF, etc. [0003] Currently, the network fax service is implemented on the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) network by using the traditional intelligent network SSP (Service Switching Point)-SCP (Service Control Point), or using CTI (Computer Telecommunications Integration) technology to build. These methods ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

These methods require a certain amount of relay resources. With the increase of business usage, it is inevitable to increase the relay resources and increase the cost.

In addition, due to the limited capability of the SSP in the intelligent network mode, if the network fax service is to be implemented, multiple intelligent service platforms need to be established by fragmentation, which involves a large number of equipment, extensive equipment transformation, and complex implementation.
