The terminal device may run a process management program and display an interface provided by the process management program, and the process management program may include a design module for providing a design center interface and responding to a design operation of a user, and the like. The interface provided by the process management program can comprise a design center interface, wherein the design center interface is used for a user to design the automatic process robot, and the operation performed by the user in the design center interface can be regarded as a design operation. Generally, a user using the process management program design function may be considered as a process automation robot designer, a user using the process management program operation function may be considered as an automation process robot user, the same user may be both the designer and the user, generally, the designer is a designer of a software company, and other persons generally do not use the design function.
The terminal device may determine a number of components required for the process in response to a design operation performed by a user on the design center interface, that is, components included in an automated process robot, which may be used to implement the above process automation. Specifically, the design center interface of the process management program further comprises a component library for displaying selectable components to a user, and the terminal device can determine the components and the sequence among the components in response to the selection, dragging and combination of the components by the user.
Step S120: the terminal equipment sets parameters and default parameter values for the components respectively.
The design center interface of the process management program also comprises a parameter management menu for the user to configure the parameters used in the selected components. The terminal device may add a parameter in response to a user operation, determine a name of the parameter and a default parameter value, and associate the parameter with a component determined by the user, where the associating step may be to configure the parameter into an attribute of a certain component.
Specifically, for example, in response to a design operation of a user, a terminal device determines that components required by a process are sequentially a browser starting component, a webpage opening component, a webpage writing component and a clicking component, adds parameters of a service address, a user name and a password, and determines default parameter values of the parameters, configures the parameter of the service address into a website attribute of the browser starting component, and configures the two parameters of the user name and the password into a writing content attribute of the writing component, so that an automatic process robot established based on the components, the parameters and the default parameter values can be used for opening the webpage and logging in.
Step S130: the terminal equipment utilizes the components, the parameters and the default parameter values to establish an automatic process robot for executing the process and parameter configuration information thereof.
It should be noted that the automatic process robot and the parameter configuration information thereof are indispensable for operating the automatic process robot, wherein the parameter configuration information can be modified by a user, specifically, the parameter configuration information includes a default parameter value, and the default parameter value can be modified by the user, so that different users can modify the default parameter value according to actual requirements of a service environment and a service scene, and the automatic process robot can work according to the needs of the users.
In this embodiment, only one automatic process robot and parameter configuration information thereof are set up as an example for description, and the terminal device may perform the above steps multiple times in response to a user operation, thereby setting up multiple automatic process robots.
In the scheme, the terminal equipment can respond to the design operation of a user and determine a plurality of components, parameters and default parameter values thereof required by the process; the method comprises the steps that a plurality of components, parameters and default parameter values are utilized to establish the automatic process robot for executing the process and parameter configuration information thereof, wherein the parameter configuration information of the automatic process robot can be modified by a user.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of another embodiment of a process automation method of the present application, the method including:
step S210: the terminal equipment responds to the design operation of a user and determines a plurality of components required by the process.
Step S220: the terminal equipment sets parameters and default parameter values for the components respectively.
Step S230: the terminal equipment utilizes the components, the parameters and the default parameter values to establish an automatic process robot for executing the process and parameter configuration information thereof.
The relevant description of steps S210 to S230 may refer to the relevant content of steps S110 to S130. Specifically, the parameters may include time, date, boolean parameters, drop-down selections, and the like.
It should be noted that, in some embodiments, after the automated flow robot and the parameter configuration information thereof are established, the terminal device may further debug the automated flow robot in response to an operation of a user, that is, a designer, so as to ensure that the automated flow robot can normally operate, and then may issue the debugged automated flow robot, so that the issued automated flow robot can operate in a subsequent process.
Step S240: and the terminal equipment uploads the automatic process robot and the parameter configuration information thereof to the management server.
It should be noted that the user mentioned in steps S210 to S240 is a designer, the user mentioned in step S250 is a user, and the designer designs the automatic process robot using the terminal device, so that the terminal device can establish the automatic process robot and the parameter configuration information thereof, and then the designer can select to upload the automatic process robot and the parameter configuration information thereof to the management server, so that all the terminal devices in communication connection with the management server can display a page provided by the management server, and the user, that is, the user, can operate on the page based on the automatic process robot.
Step S250: and the terminal equipment responds to the user operation and starts the operation of the automatic process robot.
Since the automated process robot has been uploaded to the management server in step S240, the terminal device in step S250 may be the same as or different from that in steps S210 to S240, and any terminal device connected to the management server may operate on the page provided by the management server based on the automated process robot, that is, step S250 may be executed.
It should be noted that, for some users, only a small number of automated process robots need to be operated, and for other users, a large number of automated process robots need to be operated, so that two operation modes of the automated process robots, namely local operation and cloud operation, are provided in the application and are respectively used for facilitating the operation of a small number of automated process robots and a large number of automated process robots.
If a local operation mode is adopted, that is, the terminal device corresponding to the user operates the automatic process robot, the user can operate a small number of automatic process robots through an operation module in a process management program installed in the terminal device, that is, a local operation center. If a cloud operation mode is adopted, namely the automatic flow robot is operated at the cloud, the user needs to be configured with the operation of the cloud in advance before the user operates the automatic flow robot, then the user can realize the operation of a large number of automatic flow robots at a cloud operation center through a page provided by a management server displayed by the terminal equipment, and the terminal equipment does not need to install a flow management program.
Referring to fig. 2 and fig. 3 in combination, fig. 3 is a schematic flowchart of another embodiment of step S250 of the present application, and step S250 includes:
step S351: the terminal device downloads and installs the automated flow robot from the management server in response to a first operation of the user on a page provided by the management server.
It should be noted that steps S351 to S352 correspond to a local operation mode, and step S353 corresponds to a cloud operation mode. The page provided by the management server can be used for the user to manage the automatic process robot. For the local operation mode, the terminal device may display a page provided by the management server, where the page includes an automated process robot library for displaying the automated process robots that have been uploaded to the management server for the user to select from. The first operation is an operation of selecting the automatic process robot by the user to request downloading, and the terminal device may send a downloading request to the management server in response to the first operation, thereby obtaining the automatic process robot and the parameter configuration information thereof sent by the management server, and install the automatic process robot into the terminal device in response to an installation operation of the downloaded automatic process robot by the user.
Step S352: and the terminal equipment responds to the running operation of the user and runs the automatic flow robot by using the parameter configuration information.
It should be noted that the process management program may further include an operation module, which is used to provide an operation center interface, operate an automated process robot, and the like. The operation module of the process management program installed in the terminal device is an operation center of the terminal device located at the user, that is, a local operation center. The interface provided by the process management program comprises an operation center interface, after the automatic process robot is installed locally, the terminal equipment can display the automatic process robot in the operation center interface, and the terminal equipment can respond to the operation of a user in the operation center interface of the process management program and operate the automatic process robot by using the parameter configuration information.
Alternatively, step S250 may be:
step S353: and the terminal equipment responds to a second operation of the user on the page provided by the management server and sends a cloud operation request for the automatic process robot to the management server.
The terminal device can display a page provided by the management server, wherein the page comprises an automatic process robot library, and the second operation is an operation of selecting the automatic process robot to perform cloud operation, so that the terminal device can respond to the second operation of the user and send a cloud operation request to the management server. Therefore, the management server can instruct the cloud operation center to operate the automatic flow robot by using the parameter configuration information after receiving the cloud operation request.
In the scheme, the terminal equipment can respond to the design operation of a user and determine a plurality of components, parameters and default parameter values thereof required by the process; the method comprises the steps that a plurality of components, parameters and default parameter values are utilized to establish an automatic process robot for executing a process and parameter configuration information thereof, wherein the parameter configuration information of the automatic process robot can be modified by a user, the automatic process robot can operate in different operation modes, the automatic process robot capable of flexibly configuring parameters according to the requirements of the user can be established through the mode, the automatic process robot can adapt to different service environments and service scenes through modification of the parameter configuration information and selection of the operation modes, and the adaptability of the automatic process robot is improved.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart of another embodiment of a process automation method according to the present application, which is described in this embodiment by taking a local operation manner as an example, in which a process management program is installed in a terminal device in the embodiment, and the method includes:
step S410: the terminal equipment responds to the design operation of a user and determines a plurality of components required by the process.
Step S420: the terminal equipment sets parameters and default parameter values for the components respectively.
Step S430: the terminal equipment utilizes the components, the parameters and the default parameter values to establish an automatic process robot for executing the process and parameter configuration information thereof.
Step S440: and the terminal equipment uploads the automatic process robot and the parameter configuration information thereof to the management server.
For the related description of step S410 to step S440, reference may be made to the related contents of step S210 to step S240, which are not described herein again. The user in steps S410-S440 refers to the designer, and the user in steps S450-S490 refers to the user.
Step S450: the terminal device downloads and installs the automated flow robot from the management server in response to a first operation of the user on a page provided by the management server.
It should be noted that, the related description of step S450 may refer to the related content related to step S351. Any terminal device connected to the management server may perform steps S450 to S490, and the terminal device performing steps S450 to S490 may be the same as or different from the terminal device performing steps S410 to S440. Specifically, the specific process of downloading the automatic flow robot from the management server includes that the terminal device displays a page provided by the management server, and the user performs a downloading operation in the page, so that the terminal device sends a downloading request to the management server in response to the downloading operation, receives the automatic flow robot and the parameter configuration information thereof sent by the management server, and stores the downloading request in the local storage.
The terminal device may then install the downloaded automated flow robot into the terminal device in response to the user's installation operation of the automated flow robot.
Step S460: and the terminal equipment adds an operation interface and a parameter configuration interface of the installed automatic process robot into an operation process management program of the terminal equipment.
It should be noted that the operation center interface may include a local automated process robot library for displaying the locally installed executable automated process robots for the user to invoke the operation. Therefore, after the automatic process robot is installed, the terminal equipment can automatically add the installed automatic process robot into the local automatic process robot library, namely, an operation interface of the installed automatic process robot is added into the operation central interface, so that the interface can be called subsequently to operate the automatic process robot.
In addition, the operation center interface further includes a parameter configuration menu for the user to modify the parameter configuration information of the local automated process robot, that is, to modify the default parameter value of the parameter. Therefore, after the automatic flow robot is installed, the terminal equipment can automatically add a parameter configuration interface into a parameter configuration menu of the running center interface, so that the interface can be called subsequently to modify parameter configuration information.
In some embodiments, the step of adding the operation interface and the parameter configuration interface of the installed automated process robot to the process management program executed by the terminal device may be completed in the process of installing the automated process robot.
After step S460, the user can operate in the operation center interface of the process management program operated by the terminal device to modify and operate the parameter configuration information of the locally installed automated process robot.
Step S470: and if the user triggers the parameter configuration interface, the terminal equipment acquires the actual parameter value of the parameter input by the user and updates the parameter value of the parameter in the parameter configuration information into the actual parameter value.
Specifically, the terminal device may display the parameter of the automatic flow robot selected by the user and a default parameter value in the operation interface, and provide an input box of an actual parameter value for the user to input the actual parameter value in the input box. The terminal device may obtain an actual parameter value of the parameter input by the user, and update the parameter value of the parameter in the parameter configuration information to the actual parameter value.
It should be noted that the actual parameter values input by the user may include actual parameter values corresponding to all the parameters or include only actual parameter values of some of the parameters, and then the parameter values in the parameter configuration information are updated only for the parameters for which the actual parameter values are input by the user, that is, the terminal device updates the parameter values according to the input by the user, may update the parameter values of all the parameters, or may update the parameter values of some of the parameters.
Step S480: and the terminal equipment responds to the running operation of the user and runs the automatic flow robot by using the parameter configuration information.
The related description of step S480 may refer to the related content related to step S352. It should be noted that, running the automated process robot using the parameter configuration information may be running the automated process robot using a running module in the process management program. When the local operation mode is adopted, the automatic process robot is operated by the operation module of the process management program installed in the terminal equipment, and when the cloud operation mode is adopted, the automatic process robot is operated by the cloud operation center, namely the operation module of the process management program deployed in the target equipment, and the two operation modules are the same in nature. Different operation modes are adopted, and the two steps of acquiring parameter configuration information and processing a generated operation result in the process of operating the automatic process robot are different. However, no matter for the operation module of the process management program installed in the terminal device or for the cloud operation center, the operation mode that is currently used cannot be known, so that before the automatic process robot is operated by using the parameter configuration information, the operation module of the process management program installed in the terminal device needs to judge the current operation mode to determine that the current operation mode is the local operation mode, and thus, a processing mode for acquiring the parameter configuration information and generating the operation result corresponding to the local operation is adopted in the operation process. The above judgment on the operation mode may also be understood as whether the source of the instruction for currently operating the automated process robot is from the operation of the local user or from the cloud operation request sent by the management server.
Specifically, the running operation is an operation in which a user triggers a running interface provided by a process management program running in the terminal device. And the terminal equipment responds to the operation of the user, judges that the local operation mode is adopted, reads the parameter configuration information from the local storage, and operates the automatic process robot by utilizing the parameter configuration information.
For example, for some automated process robots, a template file needs to be input, and finally a report is output by using the template file as an operation result, the template file may be used as a parameter, different users may use different template files by modifying parameter values, and the parameter configuration information may include the template file, so that for a local operation mode, the template file is read from a local storage.
The parameter configuration information comprises a plurality of parameters and corresponding parameter values, if a certain parameter corresponds to an actual parameter value, the automatic process robot is operated according to the parameter and the actual parameter value, and if the certain parameter does not have the actual parameter value, the automatic process robot is operated according to the parameter and a default parameter value.
Step S490: and the terminal equipment stores the operation result of the automatic flow robot locally.
After the operation mode is determined to be local operation, and the operation of the automatic process robot is completed, the operation result of the automatic process robot can be obtained, and the terminal device can store the operation result in the local.
In some embodiments, the terminal device may also notify the user of the operation result of the automated flow robot in the form of a mail or the like.
In the scheme, the terminal equipment can respond to the design operation of a user and determine a plurality of components, parameters and default parameter values thereof required by the process; the method comprises the steps that a plurality of components, parameters and default parameter values are utilized to establish an automatic process robot for executing a process and parameter configuration information thereof, wherein the parameter configuration information of the automatic process robot can be modified by a user, the automatic process robot can be installed to the local and operates through a local operation center.

Step S520: the terminal equipment sets parameters and default parameter values for the components respectively.
Step S530: the terminal equipment utilizes the components, the parameters and the default parameter values to establish an automatic process robot for executing the process and parameter configuration information thereof.
Step S540: and the terminal equipment uploads the automatic process robot and the parameter configuration information thereof to the management server.
For the related description of steps S510 to S540, reference may be made to the related contents of steps S210 to S240, which are not described herein again. The user in steps S510 to S540 is a designer, wherein the terminal device needs to install a process management program, and provides a design center interface for the designer to design the automatic process robot.
It should be noted that, if a cloud operation mode is adopted, the cloud operation center needs to be configured in advance before step S550, so that in the subsequent operation process, the management server can instruct the cloud operation center to operate the automated process robot by using the parameter configuration information. The process of configuring the cloud operation center specifically comprises the following steps: the method comprises the steps that a plurality of virtual clients are built in target equipment, and a process management program is deployed in each virtual client, so that an operation module of the process management program in each virtual client can serve as a cloud operation center, and the target equipment can communicate with a management server.
Step S550: and the terminal equipment responds to a second operation of the user on the page provided by the management server and sends a cloud operation request for the automatic process robot to the management server.
In the present embodiment, the terminal device in step S550 does not need to install the process management program, and only needs to be connected to the management server in a communication manner, and the terminal device performing step S550 may be the same as or different from the terminal device performing steps S510 to S540, and the user in step S550 refers to the user.
It should be noted that the page provided by the management server may include an automated process robot library for displaying the automated process robots that have been uploaded to the management server. The page provided by the management server can further comprise a parameter configuration interface and a cloud operation interface for the automatic process robot, and the parameter configuration interface and the cloud operation interface are used for a user to perform parameter configuration on the automatic process robot and indicate cloud operation.
The second operation includes an operation that the user selects the automated process robot to perform cloud running in a page provided by the management server, and in some embodiments, the second operation may further include a parameter configuration operation on the automated process robot. The user can add the automatic process robot into the task plan to carry out cloud operation of the automatic process robot, so that the terminal device can determine the automatic process robot which needs to carry out cloud operation, and sends a corresponding cloud operation request to the management server. If the second operation includes a parameter configuration operation, where a process of performing parameter configuration on the automated flow robot is similar to a process of performing parameter configuration in local operation, and details are not described here, the terminal device may send the parameter configuration information modified by the user to the management server together. The management server can instruct the cloud operation center to operate the automatic process robot by using the parameter configuration information. The parameter configuration information comprises a plurality of parameters and corresponding parameter values, if a certain parameter corresponds to an actual parameter value, the automatic process robot is operated according to the parameter and the actual parameter value, and if the certain parameter does not have the actual parameter value, the automatic process robot is operated according to the parameter and a default parameter value.
In the scheme, the terminal equipment can respond to the design operation of a user and determine a plurality of components, parameters and default parameter values thereof required by the process; the method comprises the steps that a plurality of components, parameters and default parameter values are utilized to establish an automatic process robot for executing a process and parameter configuration information of the automatic process robot, wherein the parameter configuration information of the automatic process robot can be modified in a page provided by a management server by a user, and cloud operation can be carried out on the automatic process robot through the page.

Step S620: and the management server responds to preset operation of a user and provides the automatic process robot for other equipment to operate.
The user involved in step S620 is a user, the preset operation may be an operation performed by the user in a page provided by the management server displayed by the terminal device, then the terminal device may convert the operation of the user into a corresponding request to be sent to the management server, then the management server may respond to the request, and then provide the automated process robot to the terminal device or the target device sending the request for operation, and the management server may determine a provision object of the automated process management robot according to the received request, and provide the provision object to different devices may correspond to different operation modes. The automatic process robot is provided for the terminal device sending the request and corresponds to a local operation mode, and the automatic process robot is provided for the target device with the cloud operation center and corresponds to a cloud operation mode.
In the above scheme, the management server can acquire the automatic process robot uploaded by the user and the configuration information thereof, respond to the preset operation of the user, and provide the automatic process robot for other equipment to operate.
Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic flowchart illustrating another embodiment of step S620 of the present application.
Step S620 may be step S721, where step S721 corresponds to the local operation mode, the terminal device may display a page provided by the management server, the user may perform a first operation on the page, that is, select an operation of requesting downloading by the automated process robot, and the terminal device sends a downloading request to the management server in response to the first operation.
Step S721: and the management server receives a downloading request for the automatic process robot sent by the terminal equipment and sends the automatic process robot and the parameter configuration information thereof to the terminal equipment.
Therefore, the terminal equipment can receive and store the automatic process robot and the parameter configuration information, and can install the automatic process robot in response to the installation operation of the user, so that the terminal equipment can operate the locally installed automatic process robot by utilizing the design module of the locally installed process management program.
Step S620 may be step S722, where step S722 corresponds to the cloud operating mode, the terminal device may display a page provided by the management server, the user may perform a second operation in the page, that is, select the automatic process robot to perform the operation of the cloud operating, and the terminal device generates a cloud operating request in response to the second operation and sends the cloud operating request to the management server.
