ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for automatically converting an operating mode such as a telephone mode, a facsimile mode, a telephone/facsimile mode, and a telephone answer mode of a facsimile system. The apparatus includes an key input unit for allowing a user to set the communication system in an AUTO mode; a noise detector for detecting an ambient noise external to the facsimile system; a switch for enabling transmission of the detected noise level in response to reception of an automatic control signal; and a controller for generating, after the user has set the facsimile system in the AUTO mode, the automatic control signal to receive transmission of the detected noise level, for determining whether a person is present or absent from the vicinity of the communication system by comparing the detected noise level with a reference noise level, and automatically converting an operation mode of the facsimile system from any one of the telephone mode, the facsimile mode, and the telephoned/facsimile mode to the telephone answer mode to respond to an incoming call whether such an incoming call is from a telephone or from another facsimile system.
