Abstract
An insertion assistance system includes a processor. The processor is configured to set a first position and a second position in shape information. The processor is configured to estimate a first state of a distal end of an insertion unit at the first position. The processor is configured to calculate a path through which the distal end passes. The processor is configured to determine a second state of the distal end at the second position. The processor is configured to output, to an information-reporting device, insertion assistance information required for an insertion operation for causing the distal end to reach the first position from the second position through the path and causing a state of the distal end to change from the second state to the first state.
