Topic division determination device, topic division determination method, and topic division determination program

A determination method, comprising:

• Interactively receiving designation of a division position of a log, wherein the designation represents an interactively selected region in a graphical presentation of a sequence of operations on captured screen images in time series, and the interactively selected region comprises an edge at a beginning of a range of log events in time series and another edge at an end of the range of log events as the division position in time series as specified by interactive drag-and-drop operations;
• creating a rule for determining the division position of the log on a basis of a relationship between attribute values of log events before and after the interactively received designation of the division position, wherein the creating further comprises creating the rule for automatically determining the division position of the log on a basis of a length from a start to an end of a log divided by the interactively received designation of the division position and the relationship between the attribute values of the log events before and after the interactively received designation of the division position;
• automatically determining and graphically presenting another division position of a log to be processed by execution of the rule according to the interactively received designation of the division position of the log to further perform process mining using the log;
• and
• providing a graphical user interface in which a user arbitrary turn on/off settings of various thresholds and the created rule.

A computer-readable non-transitory recording medium storing a computer-executable program instructions that when executed by a processor cause a computer system to execute operations comprising:

• interactively receiving designation of a division position of a log, wherein the designation represents an interactively selected region in a graphical presentation of a sequence of operations on captured screen images in time series, and the interactively selected region comprises an edge at a beginning of a range of log events in time series and another edge at an end of the range of log events as the division position in time series as specified by interactive drag-and-drop operations;
• creating a rule for determining the division position of the log on a basis of a relationship between attribute values of log events before and after the interactively received designation of the division position, wherein the creating further comprises creating the rule for automatically determining the division position of the log on a basis of a length from a start to an end of a log divided by the interactively received designation of the division position and the relationship between the attribute values of the log events before and after the interactively received designation of the division position;
• automatically determining and graphically presenting another division position of a log to be processed by execution of the rule according to the interactively receiving division position of the log to further perform process mining using the log;
• and
• providing a graphical user interface in which a user arbitrary turn on/off settings of various thresholds and the created rule.
