Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A method for creating a workflow, the method being performed by a computing device that includes at least one processor, the method comprising:
obtaining, by the at least one processor, a log file generated while a user performs a task;
parsing, by the at least one processor, each of a plurality of events recorded in the log file, and creating an activity sequence to correspond to an order of the plurality of events;
grouping, by the at least one processor, a plurality of partial sequences extracted from the activity sequence, and creating a plurality of activity groups to correspond to each of a plurality of different repetitive tasks included in the task, wherein
the plurality of partial sequences are extracted from the activity sequence based on a degree of aggregation that is greater than or equal to a preset minimum degree of aggregation,
a partial sequence includes one or more immediate transitions between two activities, which are a start activity and an end activity, and
the degree of aggregation of the partial sequence is defined based on a number of times that each immediate transition, of the one or more immediate transitions included in the partial sequence, appears in the activity sequence, and a number of times that a start activity of each immediate transition appears in the activity sequence;

creating, by the at least one processor, a workflow of at least one activity group among the plurality of activity groups for generating a robotic process automation (RPA) script, upon which repetitive tasks included in the created workflow are to be automated by applying RPA; and
visually providing to the user, by the at least one processor via a display, the created workflow including the repetitive tasks to be automated by applying the RPA.
