Description

Background Art

[0002] In processes such as manufacturer order recording, in order to reduce labor costs and time costs, RPA robots can be used to operate the manufacturer's system.

[0003] In related technologies, RPA (Robotic Process Automation) robots can automatically log in when logging into the manufacturer's system. At this time, mechanisms such as SMS verification and email verification that require manual verification will be triggered to ensure security. However, in application scenarios where a large number of RPA robots need to run simultaneously, if many RPA robots are offline, the cost of manual login verification is high.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an information synchronization method to achieve session sharing, thereby avoiding the need for a large number of RPA robots to re-login and reducing the cost of manual login.

[0040] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in a variety of forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure will be more comprehensive and complete and to fully convey the concepts of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0041] In addition, the accompanying drawings are only schematic illustrations of the present disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the figures represent the same or similar parts, and their repeated description will be omitted. Some of the block diagrams shown in the accompanying drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities can be implemented in software form, or implemented in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or implemented in different networks and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0042] The specific implementation of the embodiment of the present disclosure is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a system architecture to which an information synchronization method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied. Figure 1As shown, the system architecture may include any RPA robot 101 in the RPA robot cluster, a network 102 and a cloud server 103.

[0044] Among them, the RPA robot 101 can query the cookie information to be synchronized stored in the current cloud server 103 when the state of logging into the target system times out. Then, the RPA robot 101 can determine whether the local cookie information is the latest version through the cookie information to be synchronized. If the local cookie information is the latest version, re-login to the target system and synchronize the cookie information to be synchronized through the local cookie information. In addition, the synchronized cookie information can be used for session sharing among the RPA robots in the RPA robot cluster.

[0045] The network 102 is used as a medium to provide a communication link between the RPA robot 101 and the cloud server 103, and can be a wired network or a wireless network.

[0046] Optionally, the wireless network or wired network described above uses standard communication technology and / or protocol. The network is usually the Internet, but it can also be any network, including but not limited to a local area network (LAN), a metropolitan area network (MAN), a wide area network (WAN), a mobile, wired or wireless network, a dedicated network or any combination of a virtual private network). In some embodiments, the data exchanged through the network is represented by technologies and / or formats including Hyper Text Mark-up Language (HTML), Extensible Markup Language (XML), etc. In addition, conventional encryption technologies such as Secure Socket Layer (SSL), Transport Layer Security (TLS), Virtual Private Network (VPN), Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) can also be used to encrypt all or some links. In other embodiments, customized and / or dedicated data communication technologies can also be used to replace or supplement the above data communication technologies.

[0047] The RPA robot 101 can be deployed in various electronic devices, including but not limited to smartphones, tablet computers, laptop computers, desktop computers, smart speakers, smart watches, wearable devices, augmented reality devices, virtual reality devices and other terminal devices.

[0048] The cloud server 103 may be a server that provides various services, such as a background management server that provides support for the device operated by the user using the RPA robot 101. The background management server may analyze and process the received request and other data, and feed back the processing results to the terminal device.

[0049] Optionally, the cloud server 103 can be an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers. It can also be a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDN (Content Delivery Network), as well as big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0050] Those skilled in the art will know that Figure 1 The number of RPA robots 101, networks 102, and cloud servers 103 is only illustrative, and any number of RPA robots 101, networks 102, and cloud servers 103 may be provided according to actual needs. This is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0051] Exemplarily, a schematic diagram of cookie information synchronization provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure may be as follows: Figure 2 As shown. Figure 2 In the example, the administrator can synchronize the cookie cloud through the management terminal. It should be noted that the management terminal can also be called the cluster master (administrator). Multiple RPA robots can be deployed in the RPA robot cluster, and each RPA robot can pull the cookie information contained in the cookie cloud to achieve session sharing. Under the above system architecture, an information synchronization method is provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, which can be executed by any electronic device with computing processing capabilities.

[0052] In some embodiments, the information synchronization method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be performed by the RPA robot of the above system architecture. In other embodiments, the information synchronization method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented by the RPA robot and the cloud server in the above system architecture through interaction.

[0053] Figure 3A flow chart of an information synchronization method in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown, and the information synchronization method can be executed by an RPA robot. Figure 3 As shown, the information synchronization method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the following steps S302 to S306.

[0054] S302: If the state of logging into the target system times out, query the cookie information to be synchronized stored in the current cloud server.

[0055] The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the target system, and the target system can be determined according to the application scenario. For example, the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to the scenario of manufacturer recording orders in a maintenance center. In this case, the target system can be the manufacturer system of the maintenance center, and the target system can record orders through an RPA robot. Alternatively, the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to e-commerce system transaction scenarios. In this case, the target system can be the system of an e-commerce platform, and the target system can record transaction information through an RPA robot.

[0056] For example, the RPA robot may be configured with a pre-written script, and the RPA robot may log in to the target system and perform corresponding operations by executing the script. In addition, the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the number of RPA robots. For example, the number of RPA robots that can operate the target system may be 1, 100, or 500.

[0057] It should be noted that each RPA robot can interact with the target system, and the operations performed by different RPA robots on the target system can be the same or different. Moreover, in the related art, any RPA robot needs to log in again to establish a connection with the target system after being offline. Therefore, when the number of RPA robots is large or the manual verification steps are complex, the login cost is large. The disclosed embodiment can deploy each RPA robot in an RPA robot cluster, and realize session sharing of each RPA robot through information synchronization method, so that after an RPA robot logs in again, other RPA robots in the RPA robot cluster do not need to log in separately, thereby effectively reducing the cost of manual login.

[0058] Exemplarily, the cloud server can be used to store cookie information. In a possible implementation, the cloud server can be a cookie cloud. It should be noted that the RPA robot can query the cookie information in the cloud server when the state of logging into the target system has timed out or not, but the RPA robot can only synchronize the cookie information in the cloud server when the state of logging into the target system has not timed out.

[0059] In some embodiments, the information synchronization method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure may also include: pulling the task queue stored in the cloud server at every preset time interval; if the task queue includes tasks to be executed, operating the target system to determine whether the status of logging into the target system has timed out.

[0060] Exemplarily, the task queue may include operations to be performed by each RPA robot on the target system, and the RPA robot cluster may pull the task queue at a preset time interval. If there is a task to be executed, the corresponding RPA robot executes the corresponding script to operate the target system. If the login status of the RPA robot has timed out at this time, it is necessary to log in again. At this time, the RPA robot can execute step S302. If the login status of the RPA robot has not timed out, the script can continue to be executed.

[0061] The disclosed embodiment enables the RPA robot to keep operating the target system as much as possible by pulling the task queue regularly, thereby reducing the probability of the RPA robot being offline. Therefore, the disclosed embodiment can reduce the frequency of repeated logins and reduce the cost of manual logins.

[0062] The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the length of the preset time interval. For example, the preset time interval may be 0.5 seconds, 1 second, or 1 minute.

[0063] It should be noted that due to different application scenarios, the complexity of RPA robot login verification may vary. In some embodiments, the RPA robot can log in through authentication mechanisms such as SMS verification code verification, email verification code verification, human-machine authentication, etc. At this time, a fixed login script can be used to achieve automatic login of the RPA robot. In other embodiments, login authentication is more complicated and cannot be achieved simply through a fixed login script. Manual processing is still required.

[0064] In some embodiments, for scenarios that still require manual processing, after querying the cookie information to be synchronized stored in the current cloud server, the information synchronization method provided by the disclosed embodiment may also include: determining whether the cookie information to be synchronized is valid information; if the cookie information to be synchronized is valid information, executing the step of determining whether the local cookie information is the latest version through the cookie information to be synchronized; if the cookie information on the cloud to be synchronized is not valid information, re-querying the cookie information to be synchronized.

[0065] In an exemplary embodiment, if the cookie to be synchronized is valid information, the target system can be operated, and the interface returns to normal. When the database saves the cookie information, a field can be generated to mark whether the cookie information is valid information.

[0066] S304: Determine whether the local cookie information is the latest version based on the cookie information to be synchronized.

[0067] In some embodiments, determining whether the local cookie information is the latest version is done through the cookie information to be synchronized, including: comparing the version number of the cookie information to be synchronized with the version number of the local cookie information; if the version number of the cookie information to be synchronized is not greater than the version number of the local cookie information, determining that the local cookie information is the latest version; if the version number of the cookie information to be synchronized is greater than the version number of the local cookie information, determining that the local cookie information is not the latest version.

[0068] In an exemplary embodiment, any version of cookie information corresponds to a version number, so whether the local cookie information is the latest version can be determined by comparing the version number of the cookie information to be synchronized with the version number of the local cookie information. The disclosed embodiment does not limit the representation of the version number, for example, it can be represented by an integer, or it can be represented by a decimal. Exemplarily, if the version number of the cookie information to be synchronized is 5.4, and the version number of the local cookie information is 5.5, then the version number of the local cookie information is greater than the version number of the cookie information to be synchronized, so the local cookie information is the current latest version.

[0069] In some embodiments, it may be determined whether the cookie information to be synchronized is valid information first, and after determining that the cookie information to be synchronized is priority information, the version number of the valid cookie information to be synchronized is compared with the version number of the local cookie information.

[0070] In the disclosed embodiment, the RPA robot can determine whether the local cookie information is the latest version before re-logging in, so as to avoid the cookie information in the cloud server being overwritten by the old version. Therefore, the disclosed embodiment can ensure the accuracy and reliability of information synchronization, thereby ensuring the reliability of each RPA robot session sharing.

[0071] In some embodiments, after determining whether the local cookie information is the latest version through the cookie information to be synchronized, the information synchronization method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may also include: if the local cookie information is not the latest version, updating the local cookie information through the cookie information to be synchronized to obtain updated local cookie information.

[0072] For example, when the local cookie information is not the latest version, the RPA robot can store the cookie information to be synchronized to update the local cookie information. And after updating the local cookie information, the target system can be re-operated and steps S302 to S304 can be performed again to re-determine whether the local cookie information is the latest version.

[0073] It should be noted that if the version number of the local cookie information is not greater than the version number of the cookie information to be synchronized, it means that other RPA robots may have synchronized the cookie information stored in the cloud server, and the synchronized cookie information has not been synchronized to the RPA robot to be logged in again. Therefore, the RPA robot to be logged in again needs to update the local cookie information first and then log in again.

[0074] S306: If the local cookie information is the latest version, log in to the target system again, and synchronize the cookie information to be synchronized through the local cookie information. The synchronized cookie information is used for session sharing among the RPA robots in the RPA robot cluster.

[0075] In some embodiments, if the local cookie information is the latest version, re-logging into the target system includes: if the local cookie information is the latest version, requesting a write lock; if the write lock request is successful, re-logging into the target system.

[0076] Exemplarily, the write lock can only be acquired by one RPA robot at a time, and the write lock can be a distributed lock, etc. The disclosed embodiment ensures that only one RPA robot can synchronize cookie information at the same time through the step of the RPA robot requesting the write lock, thereby avoiding frequent logins, reducing login costs, and avoiding restrictions or blacklisting due to frequent logins.

[0077] In some embodiments, in a scenario where a fixed login script can be used to implement automatic login of an RPA robot, the above-mentioned re-login to the target system if the local cookie information is the latest version may include: if the local cookie information is the latest version, determining whether the current number of logins meets a preset number threshold; if it does not meet the preset number threshold, re-login to the target system; if it meets the preset number threshold, sending a login request message, which is used to request manual login.

[0078] Exemplarily, the login request information can be determined according to the login verification method of the RPA robot in the application scenario. Exemplarily, the login request information can be sent via SMS, phone, email, etc. In addition, the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the preset number of times threshold, which can be determined based on experience or application scenarios. For example, the preset number of times threshold can be 5, 10, 20 or 50, etc.

[0079] For scenarios where a fixed login script can be used to implement automatic login of the RPA robot, the disclosed embodiment can set a preset number threshold so that the RPA robot can automatically log in without manual verification when the preset number threshold is not reached. When the preset number threshold is reached, manual verification is performed to ensure the security of the target system. Therefore, the disclosed embodiment can reduce the login cost while avoiding frequent automatic login of the RPA robot and ensuring the security of the target system.

[0080] In some embodiments, re-logging into the target system and synchronizing the cookie information to be synchronized through the local cookie information includes: executing a login script to re-login into the target system; determining whether the re-login is successful by operating the target system; if the re-login into the target system is successful, synchronizing the cookie information to be synchronized through the local cookie information; if the re-login into the target system fails, executing the step of determining whether the current number of logins meets the preset number threshold.

[0081] For example, if the target system can be operated, it proves that the re-login is successful. If the target system cannot be operated, it proves that the re-login failed. At this time, it can be re-determined whether the current number of logins meets the preset number threshold. If it does not meet the preset number threshold, the login script can be re-executed to log in again. If the preset number threshold is met at this time, it is necessary to send a login request message to request manual login, so as to avoid frequent automatic login of the RPA robot and ensure the security of the target system.

[0082] In some embodiments, for scenarios that still require manual processing, after querying the cookie information to be synchronized stored in the current cloud server, it is possible to determine whether the cookie information to be synchronized is valid information. In this case, if the local cookie information is the latest version, re-login to the target system and synchronize the cookie information to be synchronized through the local cookie information, including: if the local cookie information is the latest version, set the cookie information to be synchronized as invalid information and send a login request message, which is used to request manual login; when the manual login is successful, synchronize the cookie information to be synchronized through the local cookie information, and set the synchronized cookie information to be valid information.

[0083] In an exemplary embodiment, the sending method of the login request information may be the same as or different from the sending method in the RPA robot automatic login scenario. In addition, the login request information may also be used to instruct the corresponding administrator to update the corresponding version number.

[0084] In a possible implementation, the administrator can log in by operating a browser with a cookie cloud plug-in installed. After successful login, the plug-in can synchronize local cookie information to the cookie cloud. In addition, the RPA robot cluster can subsequently operate the target system after pulling the synchronized cookie information.

[0085] It should be noted that the plug-in in the browser is a script that can expand the functions of the browser, and it can expand the functions of the browser according to the actual scenario of the user.

[0086] In an exemplary embodiment, after the RPA robot successfully re-logins, the local cookie information can be synchronized to the cloud server and the corresponding version number can be updated. Afterwards, each RPA robot in the RPA robot cluster can pull the synchronized cookie information for synchronization. When any RPA robot needs to operate the target system, the synchronized cookie information can be used for session sharing, so that when the login status of any RPA robot in the RPA cluster has not expired, other RPA robots in the cluster can operate the target system based on session sharing, thereby avoiding the need for each RPA robot to re-login and effectively reducing the login cost.

[0087] In an exemplary embodiment, the acquired write lock may be released after the update is completed, so that other RPA robots can subsequently acquire the write lock when they need to synchronize cookie information.

[0088] The method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can realize session sharing with other RPA robots after a successful login of an RPA robot by deploying an RPA robot cluster and synchronizing cookie information of each RPA robot therein, thereby avoiding manual login of each RPA robot separately, and effectively reducing the cost of manual login. In addition, by verifying whether the local cookie information is the latest version before login, the accuracy and reliability of information synchronization can be effectively ensured, thereby ensuring the reliability of session sharing of each RPA robot.

[0089] For example, a flow chart of an information synchronization method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure may be as follows: Figure 3 This information synchronization method corresponds to the scenario where the RPA robot automatically logs in by executing a fixed login script.
