Abstract
An apparatus for document identification, having a capture device for capturing a document feature of a document, a processor that is designed to perform document identification locally using the document feature if a processing criterion for the local performance of document identification by means of the apparatus for document identification is satisfied, and a transmitter that is designed to send a data record that is dependent on the document feature via a communication network to a communication network address if the processing criterion for the local performance of document identification by means of the apparatus for document identification is not satisfied.
