Abstract

Claims (50)

1. A method of analyzing process discovery results associated with a process that was performed by a user of a computing device, the method comprising:

accessing a stored signature for the process, the stored signature generated based on a plurality of instances of the process taught in a teaching mode;

capturing a first stream of events during performance of a first plurality of actions by the user of the computing device;

discovering, using the stored signature, the process in the first stream of events captured during performance of the first plurality of actions by the user, to obtain process discovery results, the discovering comprising determining a similarity between the stored signature and a subset of events in the first stream of events; and

generating a graphical user interface for displaying the process discovery results, the generating comprising:

generating a graphical user interface (GUI) including at least some of the process discovery results and one or more GUI elements corresponding to one or more controls for filtering the process discovery results in the GUI; and

displaying the GUI.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

for each instance of the plurality of instances of the process:

capturing, when in the teaching mode, information corresponding to a respective stream of events captured by the computing device during performance of a respective plurality of actions by the user when interacting with the computing device to perform the process.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

generating the stored signature for the process in the teaching mode from information captured by the computing device during performance of the process by multiple users.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more GUI elements includes a GUI element corresponding to a control for filtering the process discovery results based on a matching confidence threshold.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

setting the matching confidence threshold in response to receiving user selection, via the first GUI element, of the matching confidence threshold; and

filtering the process discovery results to include the process when the determined similarity is above the matching confidence threshold.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more GUI elements includes a GUI element corresponding to a control for filtering the process discovery results based on a threshold amount of time it takes to complete performance of the process.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

setting a lower bound for the threshold amount of time in response to receiving user selection, via the GUI element, of the lower bound for the threshold amount of time.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

setting an upper bound for the threshold amount of time in response to receiving user selection, via the GUI element, of the upper bound for the threshold amount of time.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more GUI elements includes a GUI element corresponding to a control for filtering the process discovery results based on one or more users performing the process.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more GUI elements includes a GUI element corresponding to a control for filtering the process discovery results based on one or more applications or universal resource locators (URLs) used when performing the process.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more GUI elements includes a GUI element corresponding to a control for filtering the process discovery results based on one or more locations where the process is performed.

12. A system comprising:

at least one computing device; and

at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform a method of analyzing process discovery results associated with a process that was performed by a user of the at least one computing device, the method comprising:

accessing a stored signature for the process, the stored signature generated based on a plurality of instances of the process taught in a teaching mode;

capturing a first stream of events during performance of a first plurality of actions by the user of the at least one computing device;

discovering, using the stored signature, the process in the first stream of events captured during performance of the first plurality of actions by the user, to obtain process discovery results, the discovering comprising determining a similarity between the stored signature and a subset of events in the first stream of events; and

generating a graphical user interface for displaying the process discovery results, the generating comprising:

generating a graphical user interface (GUI) including at least some of the process discovery results and one or more GUI elements corresponding to one or more controls for filtering the process discovery results in the GUI; and

displaying the GUI.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the method further comprises:

for each instance of the plurality of instances of the process:

capturing, when in the teaching mode, information corresponding to a respective stream of events captured by the at least one computing device during performance of a respective plurality of actions by the user when interacting with the at least one computing device to perform the process.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the method further comprises:

generating the stored signature for the process in the teaching mode from information captured by the at least one computing device during performance of the process by one or multiple users.

15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the one or more GUI elements includes a GUI element corresponding to a control for filtering the process discovery results based on a matching confidence threshold.

16. The system of claim 12 , wherein the one or more GUI elements includes a GUI element corresponding to a control for filtering the process discovery results based on a threshold amount of time it takes to complete performance of the process.

17. The system of claim 12 , wherein the one or more GUI elements includes a GUI element corresponding to a control for filtering the process discovery results based on one or more users performing the process.

18. The system of claim 12 , wherein the one or more GUI elements includes a GUI element corresponding to a control for filtering the process discovery results based on one or more applications or universal resource locators (URLs) used when performing the process.

19. The system of claim 12 , wherein the one or more GUI elements includes a GUI element corresponding to a control for filtering the process discovery results based on one or more locations where the process is performed.

20. At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform a method of analyzing process discovery results associated with a process that was performed by a user of the at least one computing device, the method comprising:

accessing a stored signature for the process, the stored signature generated based on a plurality of instances of the process taught in a teaching mode;

capturing a first stream of events during performance of a first plurality of actions by the user of the at least one computing device;

discovering, using the stored signature, the process in the first stream of events captured during performance of the first plurality of actions by the user, to obtain process discovery results, the discovering comprising determining a similarity between the stored signature and a subset of events in the first stream of events; and

generating a graphical user interface for displaying the process discovery results, the generating comprising:

generating a graphical user interface (GUI) including at least some of the process discovery results and one or more GUI elements corresponding to one or more controls for filtering the process discovery results in the GUI; and
