Abstract

An electronic commerce system and method for preventing fraudulent merchandise are provided. An online market server determines whether merchandise is fraudulent using real owner information when information on merchandise including real-owner terminal information is input from a seller terminal to request to register the merchandise. The merchandise requested for registration in an online market can be provided to a buyer only when the merchandise is not fraudulent by determining whether the merchandise is fraudulent, such that the buyer is provided with reliable information on merchandise and electronic commerce can be activated.

Claims (16)

1 . An electronic commerce system for brokering online trade between a seller and a buyer, the system comprising an online market server for determining whether merchandise is fraudulent by transmitting information for requesting a real-owner terminal to verify that the merchandise is desired to be registered and receiving a response to the request, when information on merchandise including real-owner terminal information is input from a seller terminal to request to register the merchandise.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the online market server interworks with an authentication-authority server to verify whether the information on the merchandise delivered upon requesting to register the merchandise is correct.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the online market server interworks with an authentication-authority server to determine whether the information on the merchandise upon requesting to register the merchandise has been changed, at uniform time intervals.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the real-owner terminal is the same as from the seller terminal.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the seller terminal requesting to register the merchandise is authenticated through login on the online market server.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein when the buyer reserves purchase, the online market server causes the merchandise to exist only in a database and not be searched on a website.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein when the buyer reserves purchase, the online market server causes the merchandise to be searched on a website, but displays an indication indicating “Reserved Car.”

8 . An electronic commerce method for brokering online trade between a seller and a buyer, the method comprising:

inputting information on merchandise including real owner information from a seller terminal to an online market server to request the online market server to register merchandise; and

determining, by the online market server, whether the merchandise is fraudulent based on the real owner information.

9 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising determining, by the online market server, whether the information on the merchandise delivered upon requesting to register the merchandise is correct by interworking with an authentication-authority server.

10 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising determining, by the online market server, whether the information on the merchandise delivered upon requesting to register the merchandise has been changed at uniform time intervals by interworking with an authentication-authority server.

11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the determining of whether the merchandise is fraudulent is performed by transmitting information for a verification request to a real-owner terminal and receiving a response to the request.

12 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the seller terminal requesting the merchandise is authenticated through login on the online market server.

13 . A recording medium having a computer-readable program recorded thereon for performing a method according to claim 8 .

14 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the real-owner terminal is different from the seller terminal.
