Abstract: A display control system includes a first wireless device attached to a management target and storing first identification information for identifying the management target, a second wireless device installed at a predetermined position and storing second identification information, a reading apparatus, at least one processor, and at least one memory. The processor and memory are configured to estimate a located position of the management target based on reading results of the first identification information at a first reading time and the second identification information at a second reading time and cause a display apparatus to display an estimated area within which the management target is estimated to be located based on the located position. A magnitude of the estimated area is based on an amount of movement of the reading apparatus between the first reading time and the second reading time.
