GENERATION OF AUTOMATIC ROBOTIC PROCESS AUTOMATION (RPA) BY MASS COLLABORATION ON BLOCKCHAIN - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240319968 titled 'GENERATION OF AUTOMATIC ROBOTIC PROCESS AUTOMATION (RPA) BY MASS COLLABORATION ON BLOCKCHAIN

The present disclosure pertains to the automation of generating robotic process automation (RPA) through mass collaboration on a distributed ledger blockchain. A computer-implemented method involves generating a generic RPA script from an RPA script, recording it in a blockchain, obtaining contextual information, and recording it in the blockchain as well.

• Automation of generating RPA through mass collaboration on a distributed ledger blockchain
• Creation of a generic RPA script from an existing RPA script
• Recording the generic RPA script and contextual information in a distributed ledger blockchain
• Obtaining and recording contextual information such as URL, query parameters, and post parameters
• Utilizing blockchain technology for secure storage and sharing of RPA scripts and contextual information

Potential Applications: - Streamlining RPA development processes - Enhancing collaboration among RPA developers - Ensuring secure storage and sharing of RPA scripts - Facilitating version control and tracking of RPA scripts

Problems Solved: - Lack of efficient collaboration in RPA development - Security concerns in sharing RPA scripts - Difficulty in tracking and managing multiple versions of RPA scripts

Benefits: - Increased efficiency in RPA development - Enhanced security and transparency in sharing RPA scripts - Improved version control and tracking capabilities

Commercial Applications: Automating business processes, enhancing workflow efficiency, and improving data management in various industries such as finance, healthcare, and manufacturing.

Questions about the automation of generating RPA through mass collaboration on a distributed ledger blockchain: 1. How does the use of blockchain technology improve the security of storing and sharing RPA scripts? 2. What are the key advantages of mass collaboration in RPA development on a distributed ledger blockchain?

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in blockchain technology and its applications in RPA development for insights into potential improvements and innovations in the field.

Original Abstract Submitted

aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to robotic process automation (rpa) and, more particularly, to systems, computer program products, and methods of automation of generating rpa by mass collaboration of rpa development on a distributed ledger blockchain. for example, a computer-implemented method includes: generating, by a processor set, from an rpa script a generic rpa script retaining functional information without business data; recording, by the processor set, the generic rpa script in a distributed ledger blockchain; obtaining, by the processor set, contextual information of the generic rpa script including uniform resource locator, query parameters, and post parameters; and recording, by the processor set, the contextual information of the generic rpa script in the distributed ledger blockchain.
