  • Patent number: 11954514
    Abstract: A robotic process automation system includes a server processor that performs an automation task to process a work item, by initiating a java virtual machine on a second device. A first user session that employs credentials of a first user for managing execution of the automation task is also initiated on the second device. The server processor loads into the java virtual machine, with a platform class loader, one or more modules, such as logging and security, that perform functions common to the sets of task processing instructions. A first class loader a first set of task processing instructions is also loaded. Then each instruction in the first set of task processing instructions is loaded with a separate class loader. The server processor causes execution, under control of the first user session, on the second device, the task processing instructions that correspond to the work item.

  • Publication number: 20240114031
    Abstract: The disclosed technology teaches a method for customers of an organization to perform configuration at runtime for authentication journeys used by the customer's users, to simplify authentication trees, and to delegate configuration to the customer's administrators, wherein an authentication tree implements an authentication journey, the authentication tree including authentication nodes and edges connecting the authentication nodes. The method includes configuring an editable script and an authentication node used in the authentication tree in response to a user invocation of the authentication journey by executing a factory method that applies configuration parameters to the editable script and to parameters used to access an API.

  • Publication number: 20240031321
    Abstract: A notification center system receives a message from a message source, the message comprising a message body, the message body comprising parameter-value pairs. The notification center system processes the message body to obtain a contextual string from the parameter-value pairs, appends a source identifier to the message, the source identifier identifying the message source, and stores the message appended with the source identifier in a platform-neutral format in a message store. Utilizing the contextual string, the message is then grouped, with other message(s) or by itself, with a message thread. The message is provided to a delivery mechanism for presentation of the message under the message thread. Content-aware contextual visual indicators may be determined for the message thread and the message based on different orders of specificity. The message thread and the message can then be displayed with their corresponding content-aware contextual visual indicators to provide additional insights.

  • Patent number: 11748073
    Abstract: A robotic process automation system employs centralized compilation to generate a platform independent executable version of a bot, which is encoded to perform user level operations. The system employs an extensible set of commands which can be user generated. The bots execute on devices that are separate and independent from a server processor that controls the system. The devices execute bots in an execution environment that is provided by the server processor. Change in a command in a bot requires recompilation of the bot which is then delivered upon request to a device. The execution environment does not require recompilation upon a change in a command.

  • Publication number: 20230153136
    Abstract: A robotic process automation system provides a capability to deploy software robots (bots) by receiving from a deployment user a bot deployment request comprising a bot identification that identifies a specific bot and an authorized class of user to execute the specific bot. Credentials of the deployment user are checked. An execution device upon which the specific bot will execute is identified from a set of available devices. An authorization token is issued for the execution device to uniquely identify the execution device and to authorize the execution device to communicate with the robotic process automation system. In response to a request by the execution device the specific bot and credentials corresponding to the authorized class of user are provided, wherein the specific bot executes on the execution device automatically without input from any individual corresponding to the authorized class of user.
