Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 16:
17. A computer-implemented method for creating a software automation process for use with a robotic process automation system, the method comprising:
determining a plurality of contextual identifiers for each of a plurality of events from a first recording of a first series of events involving one or more software programs operating on one or more computing devices;
determining a plurality of contextual identifiers for each of a plurality of events from a second recording of a second series of events involving one or more software programs operating on one or more computing devices;
forming a digital representation for the first recording, the digital representation for the first recording including at least the events in the first series of events and the plurality of contextual identifiers therefor;
forming a digital representation for the second recording, the digital representation for the second recording including at least the events in the second series of events and the plurality of contextual identifiers therefor;
combining the digital representation for the first recording with the digital representation for the second recording to form a combined digital representation, the combining including at least (i) determining matching events that are present in the digital representation for the first recording and the digital representation for the second recording, and (ii) merging the digital representation for the first recording with the digital representation for the second recording, the merging being dependent on the matching events to form the combined digital representation; and
producing a software automation process to carry out the combined representation, whereby the events from the first recording and the second recording are able to be programmatically performed without user interaction by execution of the software automation process.
