Abstract
System and method for merging and aggregation of workflow processes by recording a series of screen captures in real-time that can assist in capturing the steps for completing the business workflow process across one or more business applications in a workflow data file. The workflow data file includes a graphical representation of the steps in a sequential order for performing the business workflow process. The workflow data file is compatible with a workflow application.
Claims42
A method of generating a workflow process using a plurality of screen captures, the method comprising:
- recording the plurality of screen captures in real-time to generate a plurality of raw recordings, the plurality of screen captures occurring in series, and each of the plurality of screen captures occurring on a control business application;
- and
- generating, using a processor, a workflow data file based on the plurality of raw recordings, the workflow data file including a graphical representation of steps in a sequential order for performing the workflow process, the workflow data file being compatible with a workflow application,
- wherein the recording of the plurality of screen captures generates a first set of raw recordings from among the plurality of raw recordings and at least a second set of raw recordings from among the plurality of raw recordings, and
- the generating of the workflow data file includes
- generating a first graphical representation based on the first set of raw recordings,
- generating at least a second graphical representation based on the second set of raw recordings, and
- superimposing the first graphical representation and each of the at least second graphical representation to generate a merged graphical representation.
A system for generating a workflow process using a plurality of screen captures, the system comprising:
- a recorder configured to record, in real-time, the plurality of screen captures and to generate a plurality of raw recordings from the recorded plurality of screen captures, the plurality of screen captures occurring in series, and each of the plurality of screen captures occurring on a control business application;
- a processor configured to generate a workflow data file based on the plurality of raw recordings, the workflow data file including a graphical representation of steps in a sequential order for performing the workflow process, the workflow data file being compatible with a workflow application;
- and
- a process aggregator configured to superimpose or merge related workflow data files, and to compare a control of a workflow with other controls of peer workflows to generate a workflow process,
- wherein the recording is performed without interacting with the control business application,
- wherein the recorder is further configured to record the plurality of screen captures generates a first set of raw recordings from among the plurality of raw recordings and at least a second set of raw recordings from among the plurality of raw recordings, and
- wherein to generate of the workflow data file the processor is further configured to
- generate a first graphical representation based on the first set of raw recordings,
- generate at least a second graphical representation based on the second set of raw recordings, and
- superimpose the first graphical representation and each of the at least second graphical representation to generate a merged graphical representation.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- recording the plurality of screen captures in real-time to generate a plurality of raw recordings, the plurality of screen captures occurring in series, and each of the plurality of screen captures occurring on a control business application;
- and
- generating, using a processor, a workflow data file based on the plurality of raw recordings, the workflow data file including a graphical representation of steps in a sequential order for performing the workflow process, the workflow data file being compatible with a workflow application,
- wherein the recording of the plurality of screen captures generates a first set of raw recordings from among the plurality of raw recordings and at least a second set of raw recordings from among the plurality of raw recordings, and
- the generating of the workflow data file includes
- generating a first graphical representation based on the first set of raw recordings,
- generating at least a second graphical representation based on the second set of raw recordings, and
- superimposing the first graphical representation and each of the at least second graphical representation to generate a merged graphical representation.
