Provided is a capsule type endoscope system which prevents an image signal that is sent from a capsule type endoscope from being processed as examination information when the capsule type endoscope is defective. The capsule type endoscope system comprises: the capsule type endoscope which sends an image signal obtained by imaging a subject a reception means which receives the image signal an image display means which is capable of displaying an image based on the image signal a position detection means which detects a position of the capsule type endoscope and a control unit (150) which includes an image signal determination unit (153) which determines whether or not a normal image display based on the image signal is possible and a position detection determination unit (154) which determines whether or not a normal position detection of the capsule type endoscope is possible, and which controls the image display means according to the determination results. When the control unit (150) determines that a normal image display is possible and that a normal position detection of the capsule type endoscope is possible, the control unit (150) causes the image display means to start display of the image based on the image signal.La présente invention concerne un système dendoscope de type capsule permettant dempêcher quun signal dimage qui est envoyé à partir dun endoscope de type capsule soit traité en tant quinformations dexamen lorsque lendoscope de type capsule est défectueux.
