Application: Method for creating rpa script data, method for executing rpa script data, terminal device, image processing apparatus, rpa script data, and program (Patent ID: US20230385081A1)

The patent filed by Konica Minolta Inc. describes a method for creating and executing robotic process automation (RPA) script data to perform operations on an image processing apparatus. The method involves detecting the position of an operation target on the operation screen, normalizing this position based on the screen size, generating position information, and describing it in the RPA script data. This allows for accurate execution of operations by RPA on the terminal device.

Furthermore, the method includes steps for calculating coordinates of the operation target, taking into account the screen resolution and size of the operation screen. The RPA script data also includes resolution information to ensure precise calculations. Additionally, the patent covers the creation of RPA script data with multiple operation scripts, error handling mechanisms, and the ability to adjust operation timing. The terminal device and image processing apparatus described in the patent facilitate the execution of RPA operations by accurately determining and utilizing normalized position information. Overall, the patent aims to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of RPA operations on image processing apparatuses through precise position calculations and script data structures.
