Abstract

An article management support apparatus sets coordinates indicating a position of an observation point and an observation direction from the observation point in a space including article storage spaces, acquires coordinates of an article picking opening of an article storage space within a predetermined range with respect to the position of the observation point and the observation direction, acquires information on the article stored in the article storage space corresponding to the article picking opening for which the coordinates are acquired, transforms the acquired coordinates of the article picking opening into coordinates on an image seen in the observation direction from the position of the observation point, generates an image for displaying the information on the article stored in the article storage space corresponding to the article picking opening for which the coordinates are acquired in association with a position of the transformed coordinates, and displays the generated image.
