A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11921497B2) discloses a robotic process automation system designed to streamline task processing through automation. The system comprises data storage for storing task processing instructions and work items, a server processor, and client devices. The server processor responds to user requests by providing software code to implement node managers on client devices, retrieving task processing instructions corresponding to work items, interacting with client devices to execute instructions, and receiving status data on work item processing. The system is capable of handling multiple automation tasks simultaneously across different client devices, ensuring efficient and seamless processing of work items.

Furthermore, the patent details a computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that supports automation tasks by automating application-level tasks as if performed by a human user. The program includes instructions for executing automation tasks, such as receiving requests from client devices, initiating virtual machines, providing software code for node managers, retrieving task processing instructions, interacting with client devices, and receiving status data. The program enables debugging, launching containers for task execution, integrating external software, managing virtual machines, and logging into services and applications with user credentials. Overall, the patented system and program offer a comprehensive solution for automating tasks efficiently and effectively, enhancing productivity and reducing manual intervention in task processing operations.
