    Abstract: A supporting apparatus for supporting insertion of a flexible insertion member into a subject and removal of the insertion member includes an attention point acquisition unit, a first displacement acquisition unit and a determination unit. The attention point acquisition unit specifies at least one first attention point specified by a shape of the insertion member. The first displacement acquisition unit acquires a first displacement of the first attention point. The determination unit determines how a state of the insertion member or the subject is at a position corresponding to the first attention point, based on displacement information including information on the first displacement.

    Abstract: A light guide sensor includes a light source, a light guide member comprising a core which guides light radiated from the light source, a cladding formed around the core, and at least one detecting portion is formed, and a light receiving unit which receives the light that has been guided by the member and has passed via the detecting portion. The detecting portion includes a first opening formed by removal in the outer circumference of the member so that at least part of the cladding is left by a thickness such as not to transmit the light from the core, and a second opening formed within the range of the first opening to transmit the light from the core. A method of forming such a light guide sensor is provided.

    Abstract: An endoscope system includes an insertion portion receiving a first force from an enteric canal and applying a second force, which is a reaction, to the enteric canal, a detection device detecting a position of the insertion portion, and a processor. The processor calculates a position of a point of application, a direction, and a magnitude of the first force, performs an arithmetic operation of a shape/position of the insertion portion based on an output from the detection device, determines a reaction position at which the second force is received, based on position information of the insertion portion and on position information of the point of application of the first force, sets two fixed points where the enteric canal is fixed, and calculates information of a third force and a fourth force directed toward the two fixed points from the reaction position with respect to the second force.
