The objective of the present invention is for a user (U) to be able to easily and immediately pay the price of a product without queueing at a register. In this payment assistance device (10), a product identification means (202) monitors a video, and determines whether a new product has been inserted by a user (U). When a new product has been inserted, the product identification means (202) identifies the inserted new product from the video. Next, a product price identification means (203) identifies the product price from the identified product. If new products are inserted one after another, it is determined whether the user (U) is inserting the new products, the act of identifying the identified product and product price is repeated, and a total management unit (204) computes the cumulative total of the product prices. The identified products, identified product prices, and cumulative total amount are displayed at a payment terminal (50) by means of an instruction from the total management unit (204). When predetermined conditions are satisfied, the total management unit (204) determines the total payment amount. Afterwards, a charging unit (205) requests a charging process of a charging server (30). |
