Abstract: First time-series data is edited according to a first user instruction, and second time-series data representing a series of features and generated based on the edited first time-series data is edited according to a second user instruction. In response to editing of the first time-series data, the edited first time-series data is saved as a new version in first history data. In response to editing of the second time-series data, the edited second time-series data is saved as a new version in second history data. A first version number and a second version number are designated according to a third user instruction. Third time-series data representing content corresponding to the first time-series data is then generated by using the first version of first time-series data in the first history data, and the second version of second time-series data in the second history data.
