  • Patent number: 9071592
    Abstract: Interaction with a web site may be driven by a script. The script may be generated through automated analysis of a web site. A web site may be analyzed by evaluating labels associated with data entry fields, links, and/or other elements of the pages that make up the web site. Moreover, a web site may be analyzed by co-browsing the web site along with a human, and observing the actions that a human takes to operate the web site. The scripts that are generated may be used to perform a transaction at a web site on behalf of a principal, to gather information from a web site, or to perform any other type of action.
