Description

UI/UX solution providing server linked with process automation program, process automation system including the same, process automation method using the same, and computer program for executing it {UI/UX solution providing server linked with process automation program, process automation method using the same, and computer program executing the same}

The present invention relates to a UI/UX solution providing server interlocked with a process automation program, a process automation system including the same, a process automation method using the same, and a computer program for executing the same.

Recently, automation programs for automating repetitive and simple office work have been actively applied. For example, “RPA” is applied to various industries such as finance, distribution, manufacturing, and IT.

RPA is an abbreviation of Robotic Process Automation, which means that regular and repetitive work processes that were performed by humans are automated by applying software robots to perform tasks quickly and accurately at low cost.

In our society, there is a trend to balance work-life based on an aging population, a decrease in the working population, and a 52-hour work week. In this environment, companies are confronted with the emergence of the lack of working hours and low productivity of work as important issues. In response, various technologies of the 4th Industrial Revolution are used in the overall business management to overcome the labor shortage and improve work productivity.

In the process, the idea to increase competitiveness by replacing human labor with digital labor came to mind, and the introduction of RPA (Robotic Process Automation) enabled companies to solve problems and strengthen their competitiveness.

However, conventional process automation programs such as RPA are configured to operate by being recognized as clients by the server.

In other words, conventional RPA scrapes the script for the screen displayed on the browser at the client side and performs a predefined process based on the script for the browser screen, or recognizes the screen displayed on the browser at the client side as an image itself ( For example, it is configured to perform a predefined process based on information recognized through OCR).

In this case, the server side that composes the screen displayed on the browser has no choice but to recognize the RPA as a client device, it is difficult to obtain accurate information necessary for the RPA to perform the process, it takes a lot of time to process a large amount of information, and the server side When there is a change in the screen composition displayed in the browser in the RPA, there is a problem that an error occurs in the automation process because the RPA cannot immediately reflect the change.

For example, when RPA scrapes the script on the browser screen, if even a part of the script for the entire screen is changed, the RPA does not have a means to check whether such change occurs, so an error occurs in the automation algorithm written based on the existing script. In addition, among the scripts scraped by RPA, a large amount of unnecessary information is also included in the automation process, thereby reducing the efficiency of the automation process.

In addition, when RPA performs an automated process by recognizing a browser screen as an image, the amount of information recognized is vast, and a pre-processing process of extracting only necessary information by removing unnecessary information for the automated process is required. Unlike numbers, there is a problem in that the accuracy of the automated process is not guaranteed because the accuracy of image recognition is poor.
