A cloud-based IoT device virtualization network system according to the present invention comprises: a cloud-based virtual server which, in response to registration requests received from multiple IoT devices, creates virtual sensing objects and virtual actuating objects for the IoT devices comprising various sensors and actuators, and creates a virtual object list and a mapping table presenting information about the connections between the IoT devices and the virtual objects and stores the created table and list therein; a client terminal including a client application stored therein which receives the virtual object list from the virtual server, sets connection relations between the virtual objects on the basis of the virtual object list, and transmits the settings to the virtual server; and a controller formed in the cloud to operate connectivity between the virtual sensing objects and the virtual actuating objects according to the connection settings of the client application. Accordingly, sensors and actuators in an IoT network are configured as virtual objects to establish a virtual network, so that the costs in establishment can be reduced, in comparison with a physical network.
