IMPROVEMENTS TO WORKFLOWS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240232046 titled 'IMPROVEMENTS TO WORKFLOWS
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a computer system that attempts to execute the first step of an event-based workflow, and if the execution fails, it resolves the failure based on specific criteria associated with the step.
- The computer system receives event data for an event-based workflow.
- It tries to execute the first step corresponding to one or more events.
- If the execution of the first step fails, the system resolves the failure based on predefined criteria associated with the step.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Event-based workflow execution.
- Failure resolution based on specific criteria.
- Automated handling of workflow failures.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various industries such as finance, healthcare, and manufacturing for streamlining workflow processes and improving efficiency.
Problems Solved:
- Efficient handling of workflow failures.
- Automation of workflow execution.
- Improved reliability of event-based workflows.
Benefits:
- Increased workflow efficiency.
- Reduced manual intervention.
- Enhanced reliability of workflow execution.
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include workflow management software, automation tools for businesses, and process optimization solutions for various industries.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the computer system determine the criteria for resolving workflow failures? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in different industries?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in event-based workflow management systems and automation technologies for enhanced efficiency and reliability.
Original Abstract Submitted
in some embodiments, after receiving event data corresponding to an event-based workflow, the computer system attempts to cause execution of the first step corresponding to one or more events; and in response to receiving an indication that execution of the first step corresponding to the one or more events has failed, the computer system resolves failure the first step in a manner that is based one or more execution criteria (e.g., failure criteria) that is associated with the first step.
