In other words, the enterprise process construction system SYS1 of the present embodiment allows the user to process data freely.
In this embodiment, the first information is Internet of Things information (IoT) collected from Internet of Things devices. To be more specific, the first information can be basic detection information that is unorganized or unprocessed, or can be information having a format that is clearly defined by other devices. Furthermore, the user can input data of various data structures for editing and analysis.
