Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image processing apparatus includes an imaging unit that images a placed medium as a reading target within an imaging area, and a display unit that displays information toward the imaging area in an overlapping manner. Operation supporting information used for supporting an operation using the placed medium is selected based on information relating to a state of the image processing apparatus or information acquired by the imaging unit, and the selected operation supporting information is displayed toward the imaging area by the display unit.
