Abstract
A capsule medical apparatus for medical actions such as examination and treatment in the body detects by a sensor or the like whether it is just being evacuated from the body or it has already been evacuated. Upon detecting the capsule medical apparatus is positioned in the large intestine or it has already been evacuated, the capsule medical apparatus notifies such information in association with the detection.
