Abstract
A computer-implemented method for automating interaction with a computer system includes linking a control computer system to an input interface and to an output interface of a client computer system, which is operative for producing user interface images on a display device. The control computer system executes distinct software modules that include a virtual operator for simulating actions of a human operator. Execution of the software modules causes the control computer system to capture an image from the output interface, and to recognize information in the image. In response to the information, the virtual operator controls an input device to automatically execute predetermined operations on the client computer system via the input interface.
