Abstract
Abstract The payment making terminal device includes a front side display and a rear side display, so that the operator can easily see the rear side display on which operation guidance for a customer is being displayed. Therefore, she can give an exact advice to the customer without looking at the front side of the terminal device on which a customer's secret number is being displayed.
