A central server may include a central service manager that receives service requests from users and creates a first process for processing the service requests. A plurality of local servers may include a local service manager that receives the service request from the central service manager and creates a second process for processing the service request. A plurality of edge devices may include an edge service manager that receives the service request from the local server and creates a third process for processing the service request. The central service manager may distribute the service requests from the users to lower layers through propagation between the service managers. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A multi-layer distributed processing system for user service requests in a digital twin environment, comprising: a central server including a central service manager, the central service manager configured to receive service requests from users and create a first process for processing the service requests; a plurality of local servers including a local service manager, the local service manager configured to receive the service request from the central service manager and create a second process for processing the service request; and a plurality of edge devices including an edge service manager, the edge service manager configured to receive the service request from the local server and create a third process for processing the service request, wherein the central service manager is configured to distribute the service requests from the users to lower layers through propagation between the service managers. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the service request from the user is configured to be received only by the central server and is configured to be hierarchically propagated to the local servers and the edge devices through the central server. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The system of claim 2, wherein the service request includes process information data to be applied to all of the central server, the local servers, and the edge devices. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The system of claim 3, wherein the process information data includes a program for actual operation, input data link and format, output data link and format, and a time to be delivered after processing. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein for the service request, each of the central server, the local servers, and the edge devices is configured to create a process. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The system of claim 5, wherein in response to the service request being specified to one device among the central server, the local server, and the edge device, an unspecified device is configured to deliver information about the service request to the specified device without creating the process, and wherein the specified device is configured to create a process for the service request. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein in response to receiving the service request, the edge device is configured to check whether the service request is processible, and report whether the service request is processible to an upper device through a path opposite to the path through which the service request is received. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein in response to receiving the service request, the central service manager is configured to confirm whether the user is qualified to request process creation on the local server or the edge device, and perform propagation within the confirmed qualifications. ### Claim 9 A multi-layer distributed processing system for user service requests in a digital twin environment, comprising: a plurality of user terminals configured to receive service requests from users; a central server including a central service manager, the central service manager configured to receive the service requests from the plurality of user terminals and create a first process for processing the service requests; a plurality of local servers including a local service manager, the local service manager configured to receive the service request from the central service manager and create a second process for processing the service request; a plurality of edge devices including an edge service manager, the edge service manager configured to receive the service request from the local server and create a third process for processing the service request; and a sensor connected to the plurality of edge devices and configured to provide sensing data for the service requests, wherein the central service manager is configured to distribute the service requests from the users to lower layers through propagation between the service managers.
