Activities duplication via recorded video

摘要

A method, system, and computer program product for activities duplication via recorded video are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A playback is performed of a video with control and input data, which includes a recording of video data of a set of activities performed on a second computer, a recording of a set of control data corresponding to the set of activities, and a recording of a set of input data corresponding to the set of activities. Control data from the set of control data is applied to the computer. Applying the control data to the computer changes a state of a process in the computer. Input data from the set of input data is applied to the computer. Applying the input data provides an attribute of the input data to the process in the computer.

主权项

1. A method for activities duplication via recorded video, the method comprising:
a computer performing a playback of a video with a sequence of control and input data encoded into the video as the sequence of control and input data occurred during an operation of a second computer as time progressed along a timeline maintaining timing between each control and input datum in the sequence of control and input data that corresponds to a set of activities performed by a user on the second computer recorded in the video, wherein the video with the sequence of control and input data encoded includes a recording of video data of the set of activities performed by the user on the second computer, a recording of a set of control data corresponding to the set of activities performed by the user on the second computer to be applied to an application that performs a similar operation in the computer during the playback of the video, and a recording of a set of input data entered by the user on the second computer corresponding to the set of activities performed by the user on the second computer to be applied to the application to further performance of the similar operation by the application in the computer during the playback of the video; the computer applying control data from the set of control data to the application performing the similar operation in the computer according to the timeline while playing the video, wherein the applying of the control data to the application performing the similar operation in the computer changes a state of the application in the computer during the playback of the video; and the computer applying input data from the set of input data to the application performing the similar operation in the computer according to the timeline while playing the video, wherein the applying of the input data to the application furthers the performance of the similar operation by the application in the computer during the playback of the video.
