Automatic data retrieval and validation using software bots
The patent US12038905B2 outlines a method and system for automatic data retrieval and validation utilizing a computer system equipped with processors and memory. The core of the invention involves generating an audit file that includes a set of data objects, deploying software bots to interact with various application programs through user interfaces, and validating the data objects against compliance policies based on the interactions of these bots. The results of the validation process are then reflected in a user interface, providing a streamlined approach to data management and compliance verification.
Further claims detail the process of generating the audit file, which includes identifying audit requests, querying application programs for relevant data records, and packaging these records for robotic process automation. The system can determine whether an API is configured to perform necessary steps, issuing API calls when possible or generating instructions for software bots when not. Additionally, the method encompasses pre-audit and runtime-audit processes, which involve querying data records, performing validations, and managing checkpoints to ensure compliance. This comprehensive approach aims to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of data retrieval and validation in various applications.
