Abstract
There is provided an information processing apparatus that can improve operability for reading a reading target including a plurality of objects. In the information processing apparatus, when the reading target placed on a reading plate on which a plurality of objects can be placed is read, a completion level of the reading target including one or more objects placed on the reading plate is determined based on an image obtained by an imaging unit that captures an image of the reading plate from above. A timing of executing the reading of the reading target is controlled based on the completion level of the reading target determined by a determination unit.
