Abstract

A payment terminal includes a first processor, a camera, a second processor and a touch panel. When a first payment method is designated, the first processor executes the payment process requiring the input of the personal identification number, displays the input screen of the personal identification number on the touch panel, and stops receiving the input of the personal identification number upon receiving a peeping notification. When the first payment method is designated, the second processor determines whether a first person using the payment terminal and a second person other than the first person are captured in the captured image, estimates a relative positional relation between the first and second persons, determines whether the second person is a peeper based on the relative positional relation, and executes the peeping notification to the first processor when the second person is the peeper.
