  • Patent number: 11521150
    Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to promote efficiency improvement of a business by a mobile device. A business analysis server that analyzes a business in a mobile device system conducting the business by controlling a mobile device on the basis of a scenario includes a control unit, and a storage unit including a business index value database that manages a business index value indicating an effect of the business and a business index value history database that manages a change in the business index value as time-series data. The control unit receives scenario execution information when a business index value is designated, analyzes a correlation between the business index value and the scenario by referring to the business index value history database and the scenario execution information, extracts a target scenario whose correlation value with the business index value satisfies predetermined conditions, and generates a correction scenario.
