Description

The present invention relates to a setting execution device, a setting execution method, and a setting execution program.

Patent Document 1 discloses an input support system capable of performing an almost complete test by reducing work during testing and reflecting on-site data against system changes (Patent Document 1 0008). See paragraph).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2000-90177

In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for automatic application operation (RPA: Robotic Process Automation) in the field of reducing the load of operator input work and the like.

During automatic application operation, the status of other items (whether input is possible, etc.) may change depending on the setting value set for one item on the screen. For example, in the example of FIG. 3, the state of other items changes depending on the value of item A. Specifically, in FIG. 3 (X), when the left radio button is selected as the item A, both the item B and the item C can be input. In FIG. 3 (Y), when the radio button in the middle is selected as the item A, the item B cannot be input (read-only item), and the item C can be input. In FIG. 3 (Z), when the right radio button is selected as the item A, the item B can be input and the item C cannot be input (non-display item).

Here, in the past, in order to support the implementation in which the state of another item changes depending on the setting value of a certain item as explained in the previous paragraph, automatic setting is executed for each state of the screen item. It was necessary to create the definition of as shown in FIG. For example, in order to correspond to the pattern (X) in FIG. 3, as shown in Definition 1 in FIG. 4, a definition "set a value in A, set a value in B, set a value in C" is created. It is necessary, and in order to correspond to the pattern (Y) in FIG. 3, a definition "set a value in A, skip B, set a value in C" is created as shown in definition 2 in FIG. It is necessary to create a definition of "set a value in A, set a value in B, skip C" as shown in definition 3 in FIG. 4 in order to correspond to the pattern (Z) in FIG. I needed it.

However, creating a definition for each state of a screen item (that is, creating a plurality of definitions) has a problem that the difficulty level is high and the setting is complicated.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and is only one preset by automatically determining whether or not it is impossible to set a set value for an item on the screen. It is an object of the present invention to provide a setting execution device, a setting execution method, and a setting execution program capable of executing a setting based on a definition.

An acquisition means in which the control unit acquires a set value in the read data corresponding to the item identification data for the item on the screen according to the definition in the definition master, and an acquisition means on the screen. The setting possibility identification information for identifying whether or not it is impossible to set the set value in the item and for the item corresponding to the set value acquired by the acquisition means is impossible. The determination means for determining whether or not the determination means is, and when the determination means determines that the determination means is not impossible, the set value acquired by the acquisition means is displayed on the screen. The acquisition means, the determination means, and the setting means are provided with a setting means for setting the item, and the acquisition, the determination, and the setting are performed on the screen from the first item on the screen, respectively. It is characterized in that the items up to the last item are executed in order.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the object, the setting execution device according to the present invention further sets the item when it is determined that the determination means does not indicate that the determination is impossible. It is determined whether or not the same value as the set value to be set has been set in the item, and it is determined that the setting means does not indicate that the determination means cannot be performed, and the same value. When it is determined that the item has not been set, the set value acquired by the acquisition means is set in the item on the screen.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the object, the setting execution device according to the present invention has determined that the control unit indicates that the determination means is impossible, or the same as described above. It is further provided with a log generation means for generating a log including the fact that the value has been determined to be set for each item.

Hereinafter, the setting execution device, the setting execution method, and the embodiment of the setting execution program according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to the present embodiment.

[1. Background and overview]
First, the background of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5, and the outline of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 7.

[1-1. Background of the present invention]
In recent years, the demand for automatic application operation (RPA) has been increasing. Due to movements such as work style reforms, automation of routine work is progressing. For automatic operation of an application, for example, it is necessary to create a definition as shown in FIG. 2, and it is required to be easy to create the definition and to investigate when the expected movement is not performed.

Here, in the application automatic operation, the state of the target item on the screen may change. At the time of automatic application operation, the input value is generally read from a data file such as Excel, csv, txt and xml. Therefore, it is possible to change the input value even with the same definition, but depending on the application, the state of other items (for example, whether or not input is possible) may change depending on the input value. Specifically, FIG. 3 shows an example in which the state of another item changes depending on the value of item A. In FIG. 3 (X), when the left radio button is selected as the item A, both the item B and the item C can be input. In FIG. 3 (Y), when the radio button in the middle is selected as the item A, the item B cannot be input (read-only item), and the item C can be input. In FIG. 3 (Z), when the right radio button is selected as the item A, the item B can be input and the item C cannot be input (non-display item).

In the conventional automatic operation technology, in order to support the implementation that the state of another item changes depending on the input value of one item as explained in the previous paragraph, as shown in FIG. 4 for each state of the screen item. I needed to define an automated operation. For example, in order to correspond to the pattern (X) in FIG. 3, as shown in Definition 1 in FIG. 4, a definition "set a value in A, set a value in B, set a value in C" is created. It is necessary, and in order to correspond to the pattern (Y) in FIG. 3, a definition "set a value in A, skip B, set a value in C" is created as shown in definition 2 in FIG. It is necessary to create a definition of "set a value in A, set a value in B, skip C" as shown in definition 3 in FIG. 4 in order to correspond to the pattern (Z) in FIG. I needed it. However, creating a definition for each state of a screen item in this way has a problem that it is difficult to create a definition and the definition of the pattern becomes complicated. The task described in this paragraph is referred to as task 1.

Further, in the conventional automatic operation technique, although it is not the main problem of the present invention, when the automatic operation is stopped due to the state of screen items or the like, it is difficult to understand what caused the failure, so the definition is maintained. There was a problem that it cost a lot of money. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when it is defined that a value is set in the item B, but the item B is a read-only item, the setting of the value in the item B fails and the automatic operation is stopped. .. In the past, even if it was known that the value setting to the item B failed, the cause of the failure (= the value setting failed because the item B was a read-only item) was not known. The task described in this paragraph is referred to as task 2.

[1-2. Outline of the present invention]
Therefore, in the present embodiment, in order to solve the problem 1, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, the state (hidden, read-only, etc.) of the item to be operated and the value to be set are determined, and the operation is performed. The operation such as whether to perform can be changed automatically. This makes it possible to handle many input patterns simply by creating one automatic operation definition (in FIG. 6, the definition "set value in A, set value in B, set value in C"). Become.

Further, in the present embodiment, in order to solve the problem 2, for example, the state of the item to be operated (hidden, read-only, etc.) is determined, and the reason for skipping the operation or the operation fails. The cause of the case can be logged. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the determination result of the automatic operation can be recorded as a log. This makes it easier to maintain the definition of the automatic operation because the cause of the failure can be known. Hereinafter, a specific configuration and operation will be described.

[2. Constitution]
An example of the configuration of the setting execution device 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the setting execution device 100.

The setting execution device 100 is a commercially available desktop personal computer. The setting execution device 100 is not limited to a stationary information processing device such as a desktop personal computer, but is a portable type such as a commercially available notebook personal computer, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants), a smartphone, or a tablet personal computer. It may be an information processing device.

The setting execution device 100 includes a control unit 102, a communication interface unit 104, a storage unit 106, and an input / output interface unit 108. Each part of the setting execution device 100 is communicably connected via an arbitrary communication path.

The communication interface unit 104 connects the setting execution device 100 to the network 300 so as to be communicable via a communication device such as a router and a wired or wireless communication line such as a dedicated line. The communication interface unit 104 has a function of communicating data with another device via a communication line. Here, the network 300 has a function of connecting the setting execution device 100 and the server 200 so as to be able to communicate with each other, and is, for example, the Internet or a LAN (Local Area Network). Data of various masters and the like, which will be described later, may be stored in the server 200, for example.

An input device 112 and an output device 114 are connected to the input / output interface unit 108. As the output device 114, a speaker or a printer can be used in addition to a monitor (including a home television). As the input device 112, in addition to a keyboard, a mouse, and a microphone, a monitor that cooperates with the mouse to realize a pointing device function can be used. In the following, the output device 114 may be referred to as a monitor 114, and the input device 112 may be referred to as a keyboard 112 or a mouse 112.

Various databases, tables, files, and the like are stored in the storage unit 106. In the storage unit 106, a computer program for giving a command to a CPU (Central Processing Unit) in cooperation with an OS (Operating System) to perform various processes is recorded. As the storage unit 106, for example, a memory device such as a RAM (Random Access Memory) or a ROM (Read Only Memory), a fixed disk device such as a hard disk, a flexible disk, an optical disk, or the like can be used.

The storage unit 106 includes, for example, read data 106a and a definition master 106b.

As shown in FIG. 19, the read data 106a associates, for example, item identification data (item ID) for identifying an item on the screen with a set value (input value) to be set for the item, and the like. Including. For example, the read data 106a of FIG. 19 includes "new" as a setting value to be set in the item "operation mode", "TKY" as a setting value to be set in the item "business establishment", and the item "occurrence date". Includes "2019/02/15" as the setting value to be set in.

As shown in FIG. 19, the definition master 106b defines that the corresponding set values should be set for all the items on the screen. For example, in the definition master 106b of FIG. 19, a setting value should be set in the item "operation mode", "set a value in the combo box of the operation mode" is defined, and a set value is set in the item "business establishment". "Set a value in the text box of the business establishment" is defined, and "Set a value in the text box of the date of occurrence" is defined to set the set value in the item "Date of occurrence". That is, it is defined that the corresponding set values should be set for all the items "operation mode", "business establishment" and "occurrence date". In the present invention, as described above, only one definition (= definition in which the setting value should be set for all items) needs to be created in advance, as in the conventional case. There is no need to create definitions for each item state (= create multiple definitions).

The control unit 102 is a CPU or the like that collectively controls the setting execution device 100. The control unit 102 has an internal memory for storing a control program such as an OS, a program that defines various processing procedures, required data, and the like, and performs various information processing based on these stored programs. Run.

The control unit 102 is functionally conceptually, for example, (1) as an acquisition means for acquiring a set value in the read data corresponding to the item identification data for the item on the screen according to the definition in the definition master. 102a and (2) Setability identification information for identifying whether or not it is impossible to set the set value in the item on the screen, and the set value acquired by the acquisition means. The determination unit 102b as a determination means for determining whether or not the item corresponding to the above item indicates that the determination means is impossible, and (3) the determination means indicates that the determination means is impossible. When it is determined that the data is not the same, the setting unit 102c as the setting means for setting the set value acquired by the acquisition means to the item on the screen, and (4) the determination means indicate that the setting value is not possible. It is provided with a log generation unit 102d as a log generation means for generating a log including the fact that it is determined to be a thing or the fact that the same value has been set has been set for each item.

The acquisition unit 102a acquires the set value (input value) in the read data 106a corresponding to the item identification data (item ID) for the item on the screen according to the definition in the definition master 106b.

The determination unit 102b is setability identification information for identifying whether or not it is impossible to set the set value in the item on the screen, and corresponds to the set value acquired by the acquisition unit 102a. It is determined whether or not the item is an indication that the item is impossible. The setability identification information indicating that it is impossible to set the set value for the item on the screen is, for example, information indicating that the item is a hidden item (display: none and visibility:). (Character string such as hidden) or information indicating that the item is a read-only item (character string such as disabled = "disabled" and readonly = "readonly").

When the determination unit 102b determines that it does not indicate that the item is impossible, it further determines whether or not the same value as the set value to be set for the item has already been set for the item. May be good.

When the determination unit 102b determines that the determination unit 102b does not indicate that the setting unit 102c does not, the setting unit 102c sets the setting value acquired by the acquisition unit 102a to the item on the screen.

In addition, when the determination unit 102b determines that the determination unit 102b does not indicate that the above is impossible and the setting unit 102c determines that the same value has not been set, the setting value acquired by the acquisition unit 102a is obtained. It may be set to the item on the screen.

The acquisition unit 102a, the determination unit 102b, and the setting unit 102c, respectively, execute the acquisition, the determination, and the setting in order from the first item on the screen to the last item on the screen.

The log generation unit 102d generates a log including the fact that the determination unit 102b determines that the impossibility is not possible or that the same value has been set for each item.

[3. Outline of processing]
In this item, the outline of the process according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

The acquisition unit 102a acquires the value "001" as the input value in the read data 106a corresponding to the item ID for the item A on the screen according to the definition of the definition "set the value in A" in the definition master 106b.

Hereinafter, the processing performed by the determination unit 102b, the setting unit 102c, and the log generation unit 102d is divided into a case where the setting of the acquired value "001" in the item A succeeds and a case where the setting fails, according to the flowchart of FIG. I will explain.

(1) When the acquired value "001" is successfully set in the item A The determination unit 102b first determines whether the item A is a hidden item (step S1 in FIG. 8). When it is determined that the item is not a hidden item (step S1: No in FIG. 8), the determination unit 102b next determines whether the item A is a read-only item (step S2 in FIG. 8). When it is determined that the item is not a read-only item (step S2: No in FIG. 8), the determination unit 102b determines whether or not the same value "001" as the set value "001" to be set in the item A has already been set in the item A. Is determined (step S3 in FIG. 8). When it is determined that the setting has not been completed (step S3: No in FIG. 8), the setting unit 102c sets the setting value "001" acquired by the acquisition unit 102a in the item A. By the above processing, the setting unit 102c succeeds in setting the acquired value "001" to the item A, and the log generation unit 102d generates a log of "[001] has been input to the value set A." (Step S4 in FIG. 8).

(2) When the setting of the acquired value "001" to the item A fails When the determination unit 102b determines that the item A is a hidden item (step S1: Yes in FIG. 8), the setting unit 102c , The setting of the acquired value "001" to the item A fails, and the log generation unit 102d generates a log of "Skip A is a hidden item" (step S5 in FIG. 8).

When the determination unit 102b determines that the item A is a read-only item (step S2: Yes in FIG. 8), the setting unit 102c fails to set the acquired value "001" to the item A and generates a log. Part 102d generates a log of "Skip A is a read-only item" (step S6 in FIG. 8).

When the determination unit 102b determines that the same value "001" as the setting value "001" to be set in the item A has already been set in the item A (step S3: Yes in FIG. 8), the setting unit 102c determines. The setting of the acquired value "001" to the item A fails, and the log generation unit 102d generates a log of "Skip A has been changed with the same value" (step S7 in FIG. 8).

(3) Processing after the next item of item A Then, the acquisition unit 102a, the determination unit 102b, the setting unit 102c, and the log generation unit 102d are from the item next to the item A on the screen to the last item on the screen. Regarding this item [3. Perform the same process as the process described in [Outline of process].

As mentioned above, this item [3. As described in [Outline of processing], according to the setting execution device 100 according to the present embodiment, for example, the state of the target item can be acquired before the operation and the processing can be branched. In other words, it is possible to acquire the state (hidden, read-only, etc.) of the operation target item and make a determination such as skipping the operation before performing the process.

[4. Processing details]
In this item, the details of the processing according to the present embodiment will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 8 and 10 to 17. In this item, in the scene where the value is set in the text box on the Web, the check (pre-execution check) to be performed prior to setting the value in the text box on the screen is explained in [4-1], and the screen is explained. The set of values (execution processing) in the above text box will be described in [4-2].

In this item, the pre-execution check and the execution process in the case of executing the "text box value input process" (indicated by ● in FIG. 18) on the Web will be described, but can be handled by the present invention. The process is not limited to this process, and may be, for example, the process shown in the table of FIG.

[4-1. Pre-execution check]
(1) Determining whether the target text box is a hidden item The determination unit 102b determines whether or not the operation target text box is hidden by looking at the property of the operation target and the property of the parent (step in FIG. 8). Equivalent to S1). Specifically, when the operation target is display: none as shown in FIG. 15 (A) and the operation target is visibility: hidden as shown in FIG. 15 (B), the operation target is shown in FIG. 15 (C). When the operation target parent element is display: none as shown, or when the operation target parent element is visibility: hidden as shown in FIG. 15 (D), the operation target text box is hidden. It is determined that there is (corresponding to step S1: Yes in FIG. 8).

Then, when the determination unit 102b determines that the text box to be operated is hidden and the set value (pointing to the set value in the read data 106a; the same applies hereinafter) is not specified, the log generation unit 102d The log shown in FIG. 10A is output, and the setting unit 102c skips the process.

On the other hand, when the determination unit 102b determines that the text box to be operated is hidden and the set value is specified, the log generation unit 102d outputs the log shown in FIG. 10B. Then, the setting unit 102c skips the process.

(2) Determining whether the target text box is a read-only item When the determination unit 102b determines that the operation target text box is not hidden (corresponding to step S1: No in FIG. 8), the operation target property. By looking at the property of the parent and determining whether the text box to be operated is read-only (corresponding to step S2 in FIG. 8). Specifically, when the operation target is disabled = "disabled" as shown in FIG. 16 (A) and the operation target is readonly = "readonly" as shown in FIG. 16 (B), FIG. Operation when the parent element to be operated is disabled = "disabled" as shown in (C), or when the parent element to be operated is readonly = "readonly" as shown in (D) of FIG. It is determined that the target text box is read-only (corresponding to step S2: Yes in FIG. 8).

Then, when the determination unit 102b determines that the text box to be operated is read-only and the set value is not specified, the log generation unit 102d outputs the log shown in FIG. 11A and sets it. Part 102c skips the process.

On the other hand, when the determination unit 102b determines that the text box to be operated is read-only and the set value is specified, the log generation unit 102d outputs the log shown in FIG. 11B. Then, the setting unit 102c skips the process.

(3) Judgment of whether or not the set value is not specified In the determination unit 102b, the operation target text box is not hidden (corresponding to step S1: No in FIG. 8), and the operation target text box is read-only. If it is determined that there is no such value (corresponding to step S2: No in FIG. 8), it is determined whether or not the set value is not specified. If not specified, the log generation unit 102d outputs the log shown in FIG. 12, and the setting unit 102c skips the process.

(4) The determination unit 102b of the determination unit 102b for determining whether or not the text box has a value to be set does not hide the text box to be operated (corresponding to step S1: No in FIG. 8), but is an operation target. If it is determined that the text box is not read-only (corresponding to step S2: No in FIG. 8) and the set value is not specified, the text box is already set by looking at the property to be operated. It is determined whether or not the value is set (corresponding to step S3 in FIG. 8). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17, when the operation target is value = "test 123" and the "test 123" is to be set, the same value is already set in the determination unit 102b. (Corresponding to step S3: Yes in FIG. 8). In this case, the log generation unit 102d outputs the log shown in FIG. 13, and the setting unit 102c skips the process.

[4-2. Execution process]
(1) When the value setting is successful In the determination unit 102b, the operation target text box is not hidden (corresponding to step S1: No in FIG. 8), and the operation target text box is not read-only (FIG. 8). Step S2: Corresponds to No), when it is determined that the set value is not specified and the text box has not already reached the value to be set (corresponds to Step S3: No in FIG. 8). The log generation unit 102d outputs the log shown in FIG. 14A, and the setting unit 102c sets a value in the text box (= succeeds in setting the value) and ends the process.

(2) When the value setting fails The determination unit 102b determines [4-1. When the process is skipped as described in [Pre-execution check], the log generation unit 102d outputs the log shown in (B) of FIG. 14, and the setting unit 102c does not set the value in the text box (= value).
