2 is a block diagram of an apparatus for providing product list information of a system for providing product list information classified through seller authentication according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the apparatus list information providing apparatus 110 according to an exemplary embodiment may include a receiver 210, an acquirer 220, a controller 230, and a provider 240.

The receiver 210 receives a product information request signal from the user 120. In an embodiment, when the user 120 inputs a product name of a desired product through the terminal, the receiver 210 may receive a product information request signal including information about a product name input through the terminal of the user 120. Can be.

The acquirer 220 obtains information about a product corresponding to the product information request signal from the shopping mall server 130. The obtaining unit 220 may use the information about the product name included in the product information request signal received by the receiving unit 210, and the product including information about a seller selling the corresponding product found through the product name from the shopping mall server 130. Obtain information about.

The controller 230 checks whether the seller who sells the product is authenticated using the information about the product, and controls the information about the product according to whether the seller is authenticated.
