1. A consensus building support system, comprising:
a graph generation unit configured to generate a ternary graph based on options regarding ternary values;
an acquisition unit configured to acquire both individual opinions about the options from a plurality of individuals and a group opinion which is an aggregation of a plurality of individual opinions, wherein the individual opinions are input through Internet of Humans (IoH) devices and transmitted to a server through a network; and
a display unit configured to display, on the ternary graph, a triangle formed by three line segments indicating the individual opinions or the group opinions regarding each of the ternary values by indicating each of the individual opinions or the group opinions regarding the ternary values with one line segment,
wherein the display unit is configured to simultaneously display multiple triangles, each triangle representing a different individual's or group's opinion regarding the ternary values, including a triangle indicating the individual opinions and a triangle indicating the group opinion, and
wherein the display unit is configured to update positions of the displayed triangles in real-time as the individual opinions or group opinions change over time to visualize consensus building progress.
