- control description unit 152 describes control using one of the following execution methods: immediate execution and execution when an execution condition set by combining condition names is met. Therefore, compared to the conventional method of creating all scenarios and rules as one, the processing device 10 does not have to consider all the scenarios and rules, and the processing device 10 waits until the system screen transitions to the next screen to automatically It is also possible to easily describe procedures such as ⁇ waiting until a scenario or rule can be executed by monitoring the screen'' such as performing an operation.

次に、制御記述処理(ステップS2)について説明する。図4は、図2に示す制御記述処理の処理手順を示すフローチャートである。
次に、本実施の形態における自動操作制御処理の実装例について説明する。図5~図20は、自動操作対象装置に表示されるメニュー画面の一例を示す図である。自動操作対象装置は、処理装置10のほか、処理装置10が接続する端末装置であってもよい。
まず、対象の登録処理について説明する。図7に示すように、まず、ユーザは、メニューM1のDictionary画面の開始ボタンB1を選択することで、登録処理の開始を指示する(図7の(1))。
続いて、対象監視部153の動作について説明する。例えば、図15に示すように、申込情報受付メニューM4-1の電話番号欄(領域R41)に、「090」が入力された場合を例に説明する。
次に、実行部154の動作について説明する。例えば、図17のconsole画面M5-2に示すように、実行部154は、対応するスクリプトを解釈して、処理する(図17の(1))。図17では、Luaスクリプト言語を例示する。スクリプトは、対象登録部151で設定したエイリアスを用いて記述される(図17の(2)、領域R51,R52)。
次に、制御記述部152を実装したソフトウェアの実装例について説明する。図19のメニューM6において、インポートボタンB61を選択することで、対象一覧をインポートする(図19の(1)及び領域R61)。
次に、システム画面が変わったときの対象一覧141の更新の手順について説明する。図22は、システム画面が変わったときの対象一覧の更新処理の手順を示すフローチャートである。
図29は、従来のRPAについて説明する図である。既存のRPAではシナリオやルールといった形で自動操作対象と制御の情報が一体として記述されている。このため、従来のRPAはでは、システム1の更改により、動操作の対象となるシステム画面の修正が行われた場合(例えば、ボタンのラベルが「登録」から「Submit」に変わった場合)(図29の(1))、該当のシステム画面に関連する全てのシナリオやルールの修正が必要であった(図29の(2))。
処理装置10の各構成要素は機能概念的なものであり、必ずしも物理的に図示のように構成されていることを要しない。すなわち、処理装置10の機能の分散及び統合の具体的形態は図示のものに限られず、その全部または一部を、各種の負荷や使用状況などに応じて、任意の単位で機能的または物理的に分散または統合して構成することができる。
図31は、プログラムが実行されることにより、処理装置10が実現されるコンピュータの一例を示す図である。コンピュータ1000は、例えば、メモリ1010、CPU1020を有する。また、コンピュータ1000は、ハードディスクドライブインタフェース1030、ディスクドライブインタフェース1040、シリアルポートインタフェース1050、ビデオアダプタ1060、ネットワークインタフェース1070を有する。これらの各部は、バス1080によって接続される。
