Abstract
A conversion apparatus includes: a determination unit configured to, using a numeric value of an amount of a given type as input, determine a conversion method to be applied to the numeric value among multiple conversion methods based on the type of the amount and the size of the numeric value; a conversion unit configured to convert the numeric value into a relative value obtained based on a predetermined reference, using the conversion method determined by the determination unit; and an output unit configured to output a result of applying the value to a predetermined template, and thereby the conversion apparatus generates an expression that is easy to understand.
Claims20
A conversion apparatus comprising:
- a determiner configured to, using a numeric value of an amount of a given type as input, determine a conversion method to be applied to the numeric value among a plurality of conversion methods based on the type of the amount and the size of the numeric value;
- a converter configured to convert the numeric value into a relative value obtained based on a predetermined reference, using the conversion method determined by the determiner;
- and
- an outputter configured to output a result of applying the value to a predetermined template.
A computer-implemented conversion method for conversion, the method comprising:
- determining, by a determiner, using a numeric value of an amount of a given type as input, a conversion method to be applied to the numeric value among a plurality of conversion methods based on the type of the amount and the size of the numeric value;
- converting, by a converter, the numeric value into a relative value obtained based on a predetermined reference using the conversion method determined in the determination procedure;
- and
- outputting, by an outputter, a result of applying the value to a predetermined template.
A computer-readable non-transitory recording medium storing computer-executable program instructions that when executed by a processor cause a computer system to:
- determining, b a determiner, using a numeric value of an amount of a given type as input, a conversion method to be applied to the numeric value among a plurality of conversion methods based on the type of the amount and the size of the numeric value;
- converting, by a converter, the numeric value into a relative value obtained based on a predetermined reference using the conversion method determined in the determination procedure;
- and
- outputting, by an outputter, a result of applying the value to a predetermined template.
