Patent

CA 2427797

A method, system, and apparatus are provided for converting numbers between different units of measurement. When a string of text is entered into an application program, the string is analyzed to determine whether the string of text includes a number having an associated unit name. If the string of text includes a number having an associated unit name, the number is semantically labeled with schema information that identifies the unit name as a source unit of measurement. When a selection is received of the number or an indication that the number is labeled with schema information, a list of actions may be provided identifying conversion options available for the number. One of the conversion options may then be selected resulting in the conversion of the selected number to the destination unit of measure identified by the selected action. The converted number may then be inserted into the string of text to replace the selected number along with a unit name corresponding to the destination unit of measure.
