Abstract
A predetermined position on a paper sheet is pointed by a finger, and a first image of the paper sheet picked up by an image pickup device before pointing by the finger is stored. A second image of the paper sheet picked up by the image pickup device upon pointing by the finger is stored. By subtracting the first image from the second image, the pointed position on the paper sheet by the finger is detected. The meaning or content data of a term at the detected position is read out from a database, and is displayed.
