Abstract
In recent years, the content of consultation services in various fields has become more sophisticated, and hence it is sometimes impossible for a single counselor to respond sufficiently. As a result, it may be impossible for a consultation service to proceed smoothly. In a consultation service/support system according to the present invention, a consultation service terminal for performing a consultation service with a customer is connected to a consultation service support terminal which supports the consultation service with the customer by outputting data for supplementing the content of a past or present display image on the consultation service terminal, and the consultation service terminal is provided with two displays.
