wherein the controlling of the operation of the at least one physical entity comprises:
selecting the at least one virtual entity;
confirming a service type to be provided through the at least one virtual entity; and
transmitting, by considering the service type, data to the physical entity corresponding to the at least one virtual entity,
wherein the controlling of the operation of the at least one physical entity further comprises:
confirming an object entity among the at least one virtual entity;
confirming provided data which the object entity is to provide;
