TLDR
In this article, a system and method for exchanging data processing capabilities between computers was proposed, where the computers exchange capabilities so that data transfer between the computers may be made in the most efficient data format possible for the two computers.Abstract:
A system and method for exchanging data processing capabilities between computers. The computers exchange capabilities so that data transfer between the computers may be made in the most efficient data format possible for the two computers. A first computer, which will receive a data file, sends a list of data processing capabilities to a second computer, which will transmit the data file to the first computer. The transmitting computer examines the capabilities list of the receiving computer as well as its own capabilities list and determines the most efficient data format for the transfer. The transmitting computer may process the data file into an intermediate format for efficient data transfer so that the receiving computer will process the intermediate data file into the desired data format. The capabilities list can be cached for future communication between the computers. The system can update the capabilities list and inform other computers whether their cached capabilities list is current. Capabilities can also be forwarded from one computer to another so that a third computer can determine the capabilities of the first computer from the second computer or the capabilities of the second computer from the first computer. The system is readily applicable to facsimile machines where custom and application data processing capabilities can be exchanged.read more

Facsimile message processing and routing system
TL;DR: In this article, a processor connected to a communication switching system intercepts or receives each facsimile message destined for a receiving party, analyzes at least a portion of each message to collect, in addition to the called number, other routing information from the transmitted message, converts the message to a different format, if necessary and delivers that message to at least one of a plurality of other destination facsimiles terminals based on a) the routing information gathered from the message and b) pre-arranged routing information stored in the processor and provided by the receiving party.
