Abstract
Traditional manual macro-recorders may not work under a dynamically changing operating environment. Technical solutions are disclosed to automatically generate macros to increase productivity. After a new sequence of actions is detected, the system will prompt the user with the information of an existing macro if the existing macro contains a similar sequence. Otherwise, the system will attempt to automatically generate a new macro based on the sequence of actions.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- identifying, by a processor, respective complexity scores of a sequence of computer operations performed by a user on a computing system;
- searching, by the processor, a repository based on a characteristic generated from the respective complexity scores of the sequence of computer operations;
- and
- in response to the repository having no existing macros with the characteristic, generating a macro based on the sequence of computer operations.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-implemented instructions that, when used by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to:
- identify respective complexity scores of a sequence of computer operations performed by a user on a computing system;
- in response to a characteristic generated from the respective complexity scores of the sequence of computer operations meeting a threshold, search a repository based on the characteristic;
- and
- in response to the repository having no existing macros with the characteristic, generate a macro based on the sequence of computer operations.
A computer system, comprising:
- means for identifying respective complexity scores of a sequence of computer operations performed by a user on a computing system;
- means for searching a repository based on a characteristic generated from the respective complexity scores of the sequence of computer operations;
- and
- means for in response to the repository having no existing macros with the characteristic, generating a macro based on the sequence of computer operations.
