This invention concerns a method and a system for processing value documents.
Before value documents are processed with a value-document processing apparatus they are usually prepared for the impending processing. The preparation of the value documents involves in particular capturing data or information of the deposit and making it available for the processing by the value-document processing machine. The data can comprise particulars about the depositor, an account number, the quantity and the value of the value documents forming the deposit, a unique transaction number, etc. In addition, the prepared value documents are inserted into containers that allow an automatic feed of the value documents to the value-document processing apparatus. For feeding the value documents to the value-document processing apparatuses there are employed e.g. containers that are open on one side and into which one or more value-document stacks of loose value documents are inserted, which stand on their longitudinal edges in the respective container.
The value documents can belong to different deposits which are respectively associated with a certain person, an account, an accounting unit, etc. The value documents of the deposits are usually bank notes, but can also comprise checks, vouchers or other value documents.
To enable uninterrupted processing by the value-document processing apparatus, the deposits are mutually separated by header cards or separation cards which are added between different deposits. The value-document processing apparatus recognizes said header cards or separation cards and thus also the start of each new deposit. The header cards have information on the deposit following after the respective header card. Said information is read by the value-document processing apparatus, so that the latter can associate value documents with the deposit to which they belong. If a plurality of containers are required for an extensive deposit, the order in which said containers are fed to the value-document processing apparatus must be heeded.
Further, value-document containers are also known that have a plurality of compartments in which a value-document stack can be respectively inserted. Hitherto, each value-document stack that is inserted in the container in a separate compartment, i.e. separately from the other value-document stacks, forms a separate deposit and is also brought to account separately from the other value-document stacks of the container. Thus, for each value-document stack a separate accounting is carried out. The post-processing of rejects is also effected separately for each value-document stack. In so doing, the reject value documents that the value-document processing apparatus has sorted out of the relevant value-document stack are subjected to a manual or automatic check. Only after completion of the rejects post-processing does the value-document processing apparatus begin processing the next value-document stack.
On these premises, it is an object of the present invention to accelerate the automatic processing of the value documents.
This object is achieved by the features of the independent claims. The dependent claims contain advantageous developments of the invention.
For processing value documents of different deposits using a value-document processing apparatus, the following steps are carried out:
a) inserting value documents of different deposits into one or more containers, while placing a separating element into the respective container at each boundary between the value documents of two different deposits,
b) transporting the containers into which the value documents of the different deposits were inserted to the value-document processing apparatus,
c) transporting the value documents of the different deposits from the containers into an input pocket of the value-document processing apparatus, while removing the value documents from the respective container, along a certain removal direction of the respective container, and inserting them into the input pocket of the value-document processing apparatus stack by stack,
d) checking the value documents of the different deposits by the value-document processing apparatus, while counting the value documents stack by stack in order to establish a stack-based value-document number in dependence on the respective value-document type. In so doing, the respective value-document number is established for each value-document type that is present in the respective stack. In the case of bank notes, the value-document type to be distinguished can be e.g. the denomination and/or the currency and/or the emission of the bank notes.
e) automatically bringing to account the different deposits that were checked by the value-document processing apparatus.
To obtain a high packing density of the value documents in the containers, it is desirable that the value documents of the different deposits are inserted into a plurality of containers such that the containers are filled with value documents as completely as possible. Said value documents are to be automatically removed from the containers, inserted into the value-document processing apparatus and checked by the latter. Even in the case of different deposits in the same container, the invention enables an error-free association of the checked value documents with the different deposits. There is enabled by the invention a reliable and error-free accounting of the value documents of different deposits in particular in the case when upon insertion of the value documents for at least one contemplated deposit the value documents of the contemplated deposit are divided into at least two sub-stacks that are inserted into the same or into different containers.
To obtain a joint accounting of said sub-stacks, there are established according to the invention for each deposit a beginning position and, where applicable, also an end position of the respective deposit upon insertion of the value documents into the container or containers. The beginning position and, where applicable, end position are established e.g. at a preparation location where the value documents are prepared for automatic processing, and said positions are transmitted to an accounting device which carries out the automatic accounting. The accounting device can be present in the value-document processing apparatus itself or in an input module of the value-document processing apparatus or in an IT system connected to the value-document processing apparatus.
Hereinafter a deposit will be contemplated that, upon insertion of the value documents, is divided into at least two sub-stacks that are inserted into the same or into different containers. If the value-document processing apparatus checks in immediate succession the sub-stacks of the contemplated deposit that were inserted in the same or in different containers, then the value documents of the at least two sub-stacks are brought to account jointly, with consideration of the contemplated deposit's beginning position and, where applicable, end position established upon insertion.
In particular, the at least two sub-stacks of the contemplated deposit are brought to account jointly by establishing from the stack-based value-document number that was established upon the stack-by-stack counting for the at least two sub-stacks in dependence on the respective value-document type, with consideration of the contemplated deposit's beginning position and, where applicable, end position established upon insertion, a resultant value-document number for each value-document type present in the contemplated deposit. For example, the stack-by-stack value-document number of the individual sub-stacks that is established upon checking is added up for each value-document type of the contemplated deposit to thereby establish the resultant value-document number of the contemplated deposit for the respective value-document type. The at least two sub-stacks of the contemplated deposit are then brought to account jointly on the basis of the resultant value-document number of each value-document type.
The value documents of the contemplated deposit are thus associated with the contemplated deposit on the basis of the established beginning position and, where applicable, end position. For the association of the value documents with the contemplated deposit, no header cards are required or employed.
If the contemplated deposit's beginning position and, where applicable, end position are already known to the value-document processing apparatus upon checking of the value documents (e.g. because they were transmitted from the preparation location to the value-document processing apparatus), the value-document processing apparatus can immediately determine from the stack-based value-document number for the contemplated deposit the resultant value-document number in dependence on the value-document type. Otherwise, the value-document processing apparatus can transmit the stack-based value-document number for each value-document type to the accounting device, which then establishes the resultant value-document number for each value-document type, on the basis of the contemplated deposit's beginning position and, where applicable, end position.
The value-document stacks of different deposits, which stacks are checked by the value-document processing apparatus, can hence be associated with the correct deposit automatically. No later, manual association of the respective value-document stacks with the respective deposits is necessary. The invention obtains a deposit-based association of the value-document stacks which makes it possible to distribute the contemplated deposit arbitrarily over a plurality of containers, whose processing order can be selected arbitrarily by the value-document processing apparatus. Further, the invention makes it possible to divide the contemplated deposit into a plurality of value-document stacks arbitrarily by (second-type) separating elements—even after the end of preparation of the value documents at the preparation location, i.e. later—e.g. in order to divide a value-document stack in a container into two or more sub-stacks when said stack is too large (for automatic removal by a gripper).
The containers respectively have in particular a pre-specified container start and a pre-specified container end. The value documents are so removed from the container that the value documents at the container start are inserted into the input pocket of the value-document processing apparatus first and the value documents at the container end last, viewed along the removal direction.
In one embodiment, there are established for each deposit both the beginning position and the end position of the different deposits. In this case, the correct association of the value-document stacks can be carried out for the contemplated deposit on the basis of the beginning and end positions of the contemplated deposit. The beginning/end positions of other deposits are not required for this purpose.
In another embodiment, only the beginning positions (and no end positions) of the different deposits are established. For the correct association of the value-document stacks with the contemplated deposit, there is then also required the beginning position of that (following) deposit whose value documents are contained in the relevant container or containers after those of the contemplated deposit, i.e. whose beginning also marks the end of the contemplated deposit. In this case, there are employed for the correct association of the value-document stack with the contemplated deposit the beginning position of that or those (following) deposit or deposits whose value documents are contained in the relevant container or containers after those of the contemplated deposit. That is to say, in this case the beginning positions of one or more other deposits are also taken into consideration for the correct association.
The beginning position/end position of a deposit is the information about in which of the value-document containers and after which separating-element position along the removal direction of this value-document container the respective deposit begins/ends. Preferably, a beginning position and, where applicable, the end position of the respective deposit are transmitted to the accounting device and, where applicable, also to the value-document processing apparatus for each of the deposits at a time before the checking and counting of the value documents of the respective deposit. The beginning position/end position of the respective deposit comprises that separating-element position after/before which the first/last value documents of the respective deposit are located in the respective container (viewed along the removal direction of the container).
The beginning position and, where applicable, end position can be transmitted e.g. via a data carrier of the value-document container or via a communication line which exists between the preparation location and the accounting device and, where applicable, the value-document processing apparatus. In the case of transfer of the beginning/end position via a communication line, the beginning position/end position also comprises an identification of the respective container into which the first/last value documents of the respective deposit were inserted. If the beginning position and, where applicable, end position were transmitted from the preparation location only to the accounting device of a surrounding IT system but not to the value-document processing apparatus, the value-document processing apparatus can direct a request to the IT system as needed in order to obtain information about the beginning positions and, where applicable, end positions of the deposits.
In the case of a division of the contemplated deposit over a first and a second container, the beginning position (but not the end position) of the contemplated deposit is associated with the first value-document container which is filled with the first sub-stack of the contemplated deposit, and the end position of the contemplated deposit (but not the beginning position) is associated with the second value-document container which is filled with the second sub-stack. The number and type of the checked value documents of the contemplated deposit as established by the value-document processing apparatus is associated on the basis of the (previously established) beginning position and, where applicable, end position of the contemplated deposit.
For each of the deposits the resultant value-document number of each value-document type present in the respective deposit is established, e.g. a numerical value for the respective value-document type. Upon accounting, a total value of the value documents of the deposit is established therefrom. For automatically bringing to account the different deposits that have been processed by the value-document processing apparatus, the respective deposit is brought to account automatically on the basis of the resultant value-document number of each value-document type present. The accounting device is configured for bringing a deposit to account, in the case when the value documents of said deposit were divided into at least two sub-stacks that were inserted into the same or into different containers, in such a way that it brings to account the at least two sub-stacks of the value documents of said deposit jointly on the basis of the value-document number of each value-document type as established for said deposit.
Reject value documents that were rejected upon checking of the value documents are sorted out by the value-document processing apparatus into a reject pocket of the value-document processing apparatus. In so doing, the sorted-out reject value documents of different sub-stacks that belong to the same deposit and were inserted into the same value-document container or into different containers are sorted out into the same reject pocket. Preferably, said reject value documents of the same deposit are post-processed jointly in one working step, in particular at a time before the contemplated deposit is automatically brought to account.
After the processing of the value documents of a contemplated deposit, as soon as value documents of another deposit are to be checked by the value-document processing apparatus, the value-document processing apparatus switches automatically to an operating mode for rejects post-processing of the reject value documents of the contemplated deposit. The switch to the rejects operating mode is effected in particular at a time before value documents of another deposit are inserted into the input pocket. If a great number of reject value documents occur, an additional rejects processing can also be carried out in between, i.e. before the check of the contemplated deposit is ended. The contemplated deposit is only automatically brought to account when the post-processing of the reject value documents of the contemplated deposit is terminated.
When the value documents of the contemplated deposit are divided, upon insertion, into at least two sub-stacks that are inserted in the same or in different containers, and the value-document processing apparatus checks the sub-stacks of said deposit in immediate succession, the reject value documents of said sub-stacks are sorted out into the same reject pocket. Before the value-document processing apparatus checks value documents of another deposit than the contemplated deposit, it switches automatically to an operating mode for rejects post-processing of the reject value documents of the contemplated deposit, in which mode the sorted-out reject value documents of the at least two sub-stacks of the contemplated deposit are post-processed jointly.
If a deposit is divided into at least two sub-stacks using at least one separating element (second-type separating element), the at least two sub-stacks of the contemplated deposit can be brought to account jointly. Reject value documents of all sub-stacks that are successively inserted into the same value-document container and that belong to the same deposit, said value documents being rejected upon checking thereof, are sorted out into the same reject pocket. And said reject value documents are post-processed jointly before the contemplated deposit is automatically brought to account. The value-document processing apparatus does not switch automatically between the processing of the at least two sub-stacks of the same deposit to an operating mode for rejects post-processing of the respective reject value documents of the respective sub-stack, but rather the reject value documents of all sub-stacks of the contemplated deposit that are inserted into the same value-document container are post-processed jointly in a post-processing step. This rejects post-processing can be carried out as soon as the last value documents of the respective container have been checked or, if a next container also begins with the same deposit, also at a later time.
The value documents of the contemplated deposit are distributed for example over at least two containers into which only value documents of the contemplated deposit, but no value documents of other deposits, are inserted. The contemplated deposit then comprises at least a first sub-stack in a first container and at least a second sub-stack in a second container. The accounting of the contemplated deposit's sub-stacks inserted into the first and second containers can then be carried out in any case jointly, independently of the order in which the value documents of the first container and of the second container are inserted into the input pocket of the value-document processing apparatus.
The value documents of the contemplated deposit can also be distributed over at least two containers such that the value documents of said deposit form a first sub-stack that is inserted at the end of the first container (viewed along the removal direction of the container) and form a second sub-stack that is inserted at the start of a second container (viewed along the removal direction of the container). Start and end of the respective container are viewed along the certain removal direction of the respective container. However, when one or both containers also contain value documents of one or more other deposits (e.g. at the start of the first container there can also have been inserted value documents of another deposit), then the contemplated deposit's sub-stacks inserted into the first and second containers are brought to account either jointly or separately from each other, in dependence on the order in which the value documents of the first and second containers of the value-document processing apparatus are inserted into the input pocket of the value-document processing apparatus. In this connection the following cases can occur:
If the order is such that the value documents of the second sub-stack (from the second container) are inserted into the input pocket of the value-document processing apparatus immediately after those of the first sub-stack (from the first container), then the value documents of the second sub-stack from the second container are brought to account jointly with the value documents of the first sub-stack from the first container, in a joint accounting. Said joint accounting can comprise—in addition to the first and second sub-stacks—one or more further sub-stacks of the same deposit that were inserted into one or more further containers, whose value documents were inserted before the value documents of the first container or after the value documents of the second container. Between the processing of the value documents of the first and second containers, no separate accounting of the value documents of the contemplated deposit with regard to the first sub-stack is thus carried out, and the value-document processing apparatus does not switch to an operating mode for rejects processing of the first sub-stack.
If the order is such that between the value documents of the first and second sub-stacks, value documents of another deposit from a next container are inserted into the input pocket (neither the value documents of the second container nor of a further container at whose start value documents of the contemplated deposit are contained), then an accounting of the contemplated deposit with regard to the first sub-stack from the first container is carried out between the processing of the value documents of the first and next containers, and at a later time an accounting, separate therefrom, of the contemplated deposit with regard to the second sub-stack from the second container. The mutually separate accountings of the two sub-stacks of the contemplated deposit can be merged manually or automatically at a later time in order to carry out a final accounting of the contemplated deposit.
If the order is such that the value documents of the second sub-stack are inserted into the input pocket of the value-document processing apparatus before those of the first sub-stack, then an accounting of the contemplated deposit with regard to the second sub-stack from the second container is carried out after the processing of the second sub-stack, and an accounting of the contemplated deposit with regard to the first sub-stack is carried out at a later time, being separate from the accounting with regard to the second sub-stack. The mutually separate accountings of the two sub-stacks of the contemplated deposit can be merged manually or automatically at a later time in order to carry out a final accounting of the contemplated deposit.
The contemplated deposit can comprise—in addition to the first and second sub-stacks—at least one further sub-stack which is contained in a further container containing only the value documents of the further sub-stack but no further value documents of other deposits. If the order is then such that the value documents from the at least one further container are inserted into the input pocket of the value-document processing apparatus immediately after the first sub-stack, and the value documents of the second sub-stack are inserted into the input pocket of the value-document processing apparatus immediately after the value documents of the at least one further container, then the value documents of the first sub-stack from the first container and the value documents of the second sub-stack of the second container and the value documents of the at least one further sub-stack from the at least one further container are brought to account together in a joint accounting.
It is a problem with separating different deposits by header cards as hitherto to process deposits with a very great quantity of value documents automatically. When the number of value documents is e.g. so great that the deposit does not have room in a container, the remaining sub-stack of the value documents of the contemplated deposit must be inserted into a further container. When the value documents are fed to the value-document processing apparatus the value documents of said containers must then be inserted in the correct order, in order for the value documents of the further container to be associated with the correct deposit.
The method according to the invention, in contrast, allows a more flexible processing of the containers in an arbitrary order and thus a more robust process of automatic value-document processing. Since the order in which the sub-stacks inserted in different containers are fed to the apparatus can be selected flexibly, those processing errors that have hitherto come about through a wrong container order are avoided by the invention. Moreover, when feed is in the “right” order (so that all value documents of the same deposit are inserted into the value-document processing apparatus in immediate succession) an elevated throughput of processing is obtained, since feed in the right order enables a joint accounting and joint rejects processing of the sub-stacks of the same deposit. However, when the containers are fed in another order an error-free accounting is nevertheless guaranteed.
Different types of separating elements can be employed. For example, upon insertion of the value documents of the different deposits into the one or more containers, a first-type separating element will be placed into the respective container at each boundary between value-document stacks of two different deposits. In the case of a deposit whose value-document stack extends over more than a maximum stack length along the removal direction in the respective container, the value-document stack of said deposit can be divided into at least two sub-stacks using at least one second-type separating element.
The first-type separating elements and the second-type separating elements can have different colors and/or be mechanically configured differently. For example, upon placement into the respective container the first-type separating elements are automatically fixed in the container such that the first-type separating elements do not fall out of the container when the container is turned around so that its open side points downward. The first-type separating elements have for this purpose e.g. a corresponding latch mechanism which prevents the separating element from falling out of the container. The second-type separating elements, in contrast, are so mechanically configured that they fall out of the container when the container is turned around so that its open side points downward.
The insertion of the value documents can be carried out using a gripper, which removes one value-document stack/sub-stack after the other from the respective container and inserts them into an input pocket of the value-document processing apparatus. The gripper can be part of an input module of the apparatus or part of a self-driving transport vehicle which transports the containers to the value-document processing apparatus. The value-document processing apparatus can be informed from outside, e.g. by the gripper control of the gripper, at what time the latter has inserted all sub-stacks of the contemplated deposit into the input pocket of the value-document processing apparatus.
The invention also concerns a system for processing value documents of different deposits which comprises one or more preparation locations where value documents of different deposits are prepared and inserted into one or more containers. At each boundary between the value documents of two different deposits a (first-type) separating element is placed into the respective container. The system moreover comprises at least one value-document processing apparatus to which the containers into which the value documents of the different deposits were inserted are transported, and which checks the value documents of the different deposits and establishes the value-document number of each value-document type present in the contemplated deposit. Moreover, the system comprises a transport device by which the value documents of the different deposits are transported from the containers into an input pocket of the value-document processing apparatus, with the value documents being removed from the respective container stack by stack and inserted into the input pocket of the value-document processing apparatus (e.g. using a gripper).
The system further includes an accounting device for automatically bringing to account the different deposits that were processed by the value-document processing apparatus. The accounting device is configured such that, in the case when the value-document processing apparatus checks in immediate succession the contemplated deposit's sub-stacks that were inserted in the same or in different containers, it brings to account the value documents of the at least two sub-stacks jointly, with consideration of the contemplated deposit's beginning position and, where applicable, end position established upon insertion. The accounting device is configured such that, in the case when the value documents of a deposit were divided into at least two sub-stacks that were inserted into the same or into different containers, it establishes for each value-document type from the stack-based value-document number of the sub-stacks, on the basis of the contemplated deposit's beginning position and, where applicable, end position, the resultant value-document number of the contemplated deposit, and brings to account the at least two sub-stacks of said deposit jointly in this manner. The respective deposit is brought to account automatically on the basis of the resultant value-document number of the respective value-document type that was established for the respective deposit.
Further, the system comprises a device that is configured for recording the beginning position and, where applicable, end position of each deposit. Said device can be a reading device which reads out the beginning position and, where applicable, end position from the data carrier of the container. However, the device can also be an interface at the preparation location, on the input module or on the value-document processing apparatus, which is configured for the input of the beginning position and, where applicable, end position by an operating person, and, where applicable, for transmitting the beginning position and, where applicable, end position to the accounting device, e.g. to an IT system connected thereto or to the value-document processing apparatus.
At the preparation location there is captured, for each sub-stack that is inserted into one or more containers, deposit information that is specific to the relevant sub-stack. For each sub-stack that is inserted in a container, e.g. the following deposit information is associated with the respective container containing the sub-stack:
With each sub-stack there can be associated status information on the processing status of the sub-stack, which is adapted in the course of its processing, e.g. status=unprocessed, status=prepared, status=processed, status=brought to account, . . . .
With each container there is associated the deposit information about the sub-stack inserted in the container. In one embodiment example, the associating of the deposit information with the respective container containing the sub-stack is effected by writing the deposit information to a data carrier of the respective container. In another embodiment example, the associating of the deposit information with the respective container is effected by transmitting the deposit information, linked with the respective container identification, to the accounting device (e.g. via a communication line).
Hereinafter the invention will be explained by way of example with reference to the following figures. There are shown:
The separating elements TE1 and TE2 can be positioned variably along the container to enable the size of the storage regions to be adapted to differently sized value-document stacks. For this purpose, the separating elements TE1, TE2 can be put in at different places of the container 100, where the container wall has corresponding slots. For removal of the value documents there is employed a gripper 9 which is lowered into the container 100 to remove the respective value-document stack of a storage region. The container 100 has an identification ID1 by which the container is uniquely identifiable. Said identification ID1 is marked e.g. by a bar code.
Optionally, the container 100 has a data carrier 102, e.g. an NFC chip, in which information about the value documents 1 contained in the container are stored. Said information can be read out from the NFC chip wirelessly using a corresponding reader.
Said information comprises e.g. information about the type of container, about the depositor of the respective value-document stack and, where applicable, about the number or the nominal value of the value documents of the respective value-document stack. In the data carrier 102 there can also be stored the beginning and end positions of the deposits, which are formed by the separating elements TE1. Optionally, there can also be stored in the data carrier the position of the separating element TE2, which does not form a beginning or end position of a deposit. Said information can have been stored in the data carrier 102 e.g. upon filling of the container with value documents, e.g. upon machine filling of the container, or upon manual filling of the container, e.g. by the depositor of the value documents, or at the preparation location 50 of an apparatus 60 for value-document processing, cf.
In
The container 100 can be inserted into a container receiving means 17 of the input module 10 manually or automatically. The container receiving means 17 can be equipped with a reading device 4 for reading out the identification (e.g. ID1) of the container 100 and/or information about the beginning and end positions of the deposits in the container 100 from the data carrier 102 of the container. Where applicable, the separating-element position of the separating element TE2, which is not a beginning or end position of a deposit, can also be read out from the data carrier 102. However, the latter position can alternatively also be detected only in the input module 10.
In the case of the ID1 container, the reading device 4 transmits the read-out beginning and end positions of the deposits D3, D4 and D5, as well as the separating-element position of the separating element TE2, where applicable, to a gripper control 8 of the gripper 9, which controls the motion of the gripper 9. The gripper control 8 has e.g. a data carrier 5 in which the information, linked with the identification ID1 of the container 100, can be stored, as well as corresponding information for further containers with further identifications, where applicable. The gripper control 8 controls the gripper such that it successively removes the respective value-document stack inserted between two of the separating elements TE1, TE2 from the container 100 and inserts it into the input pocket 61 of the apparatus. Thus, the individual value-document stacks are automatically removed from the container 100 along the removal direction x, cf.
The positions of the separating elements TE1, TE2 can be established in the input module 10, using sensors of the input module 10, e.g. at a time before the gripper removes the value documents from the container. In
The apparatus 60 can carry out the accounting of the deposits either itself (accounting device Z in the apparatus 60) or transmit the inputted information to a central accounting device Z which is supplied by an IT system connected to the apparatus 60, and which can also carry out the accountings for a plurality of value-document processing apparatuses.
Further, the established positions of the separating elements can be checked before the gripper 9 begins removing the value documents 1. This can involve checking e.g. the distance between two neighboring separating elements as to whether the gripper 9 can safely remove the value-document stack located there between. If the value-document stack is too large for the gripper, the operator can be prompted to insert an additional separating element TE2 and thereby subdivide the oversized value-document stack into two smaller stacks which the gripper 9 can then remove.
Additionally or alternatively to storage in the data carrier 102 of the container, however, the information about the beginning and end positions of the deposits of the container 100 and of further containers with further deposits can also be transmitted directly to the accounting device Z. If the accounting device Z is arranged outside the apparatus 60, it usually carries out the accountings for a plurality of value-document processing apparatuses.
At one or more such preparation locations 50 the containers 100 are prepared by an operating person 51 for automatic removal of the value documents, cf.
The digital information generated at the spatially remote position about the beginning and end positions, linked with the container identification ID, of the deposits of the respective container is subsequently sent to the central accounting device Z via data connections 15. For the container ID1 the information represented on the left in
The central accounting device Z then carries out an accounting of the value documents of the different deposits. For each deposit the total value of the deposited value documents is determined. In the example of
