The acquisition section acquires conveyance apparatus information including information related to the movement of a conveyance apparatus configured to convey an article used in a predetermined board work to a board production line including a board working machine configured to produce a board product by performing the board work on a board. When an operator visually recognizes a target region which is at least a part region of the board production line via an augmented reality device capable of displaying virtual information in accordance with a real world visually recognized by the operator, the display section displays the virtual information including the conveyance apparatus information acquired by the acquisition section in an overlapping manner on a real target region visually recognized by the operator via the augmented reality device. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A conveyance apparatus information teaching system comprising: acquisition circuitry configured to acquire conveyance apparatus information including information related to movement of a conveyance apparatus configured to convey an article used in a predetermined board work to a board production line including a board working machine configured to produce a board product by performing the board work on a board; and display circuitry configured to, when an operator visually recognizes a target region which is at least a part region of the board production line via an augmented reality device capable of displaying virtual information in accordance with a real world visually recognized by the operator, display the virtual information including the conveyance apparatus information acquired by the acquisition circuitry in an overlapping manner on a real target region visually recognized by the operator via the augmented reality device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The conveyance apparatus information teaching system according to claim 1, wherein the conveyance apparatus information includes information indicating a movable range in which the conveyance apparatus may move. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The conveyance apparatus information teaching system according to claim 2, wherein the movable range includes a retreat region that is a region in which the operator is to be separated from the conveyance apparatus during movement of the conveyance apparatus. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The conveyance apparatus information teaching system according to claim 1, wherein the conveyance apparatus information includes information indicating a moving direction of the conveyance apparatus. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The conveyance apparatus information teaching system according to claim 1, wherein the display circuitry is further configured to change the virtual information displayed on the augmented reality device in accordance with a progress state of production of the board product. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The conveyance apparatus information teaching system according to claim 5, wherein the display circuitry is further configured to move information indicating a retreat region that is a region in which the operator is to be separated from the conveyance apparatus during movement of the conveyance apparatus in accordance with the progress state of the production of the board product. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The conveyance apparatus information teaching system according to claim 5, wherein the virtual information includes work availability information that is information indicating a permitted state in which a work by the operator is permitted or a prohibited state in which the work by the operator is prohibited, and the display circuitry is further configured to display the work availability information in accordance with the progress state of the production of the board product. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The conveyance apparatus information teaching system according to claim 1, wherein the virtual information includes operator related information that is information related to at least one of a work performed by the operator, a method of operating the board working machine performed by the operator, and a method of the operator dealing with a malfunction occurring in the board working machine, and the display circuitry is further configured to display the operator related information. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The conveyance apparatus information teaching system according to claim 1, wherein the conveyance apparatus is provided to be movable on a track extending along a conveyance direction of the board. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The conveyance apparatus information teaching system according to claim 1, wherein the conveyance apparatus is an automated guided vehicle. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The conveyance apparatus information teaching system according to claim 10, wherein the conveyance apparatus information includes route information that is information related to a route along which the conveyance apparatus is scheduled to travel, and the display circuitry is further configured to display the route information. ### Claim 12 A conveyance apparatus information teaching method comprising: acquiring conveyance apparatus information including information related to movement of a conveyance apparatus configured to convey an article used in a predetermined board work to a board production line including a board working machine configured to produce a board product by performing the board work on a board; and displaying the virtual information including the conveyance apparatus information in an overlapping manner on a real target region visually recognized by an operator via the augmented reality device when the operator visually recognizes a target region which is at least a part region of the board production line via an augmented reality device capable of displaying virtual information in accordance with a real world visually recognized by the operator.
