Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9004299A1] A multi-purpose communications device provides the fundamental facility of a telephone, but also includes a document reader and a document printer within the same device. Thus documents can be read and transmitted to a remote facsimile receiver, received from a remote facsimile transmitter and printed, or read and re-printed so as to reproduce the document. The device also may include a facility which records and stores audio messages from the telephone line or from the microphone of the telephone, and provides for transmission of a stored message via the telephone line to a remote telephone receiver, the number of the remote telephone receiver having been stored and automatically dialled by the device. The device may also include a facility for communicating with a computer so that data, voice and facsimile messages can be transferred from the computer to a remote telephone, facsimile transceiver or computer and vice versa.
