Patent ID: 8037115

Claim:
A computing system implemented process for selecting a display value comprising: entering an initial value into a computing system using a user interface, the initial value being entered in a first numbering system; converting the initial value from the first numbering system into a second numbering system, thereby creating a stored value; saving the stored value; accessing the stored value; converting the stored value from the second numbering system to the first numbering system, thereby creating a recalled value; eliminating a least significant digit from the recalled value, thereby creating an edited recalled value saving the edited recalled value in the first numbering system; converting the edited recalled value in the first numbering system from the first numbering system to the second numbering system, thereby creating an edited recalled value in the second numbering system; and comparing the edited recalled value in the second numbering system with the stored value, wherein; if the edited recalled value in the second numbering system is not equal to the stored value, selecting the recalled value in the first numbering system as a display value; and if the edited recalled value in the second numbering system is equal to the stored value, repeating: eliminating another least significant digit from the recalled value, thereby creating a new edited recalled value in the first numbering system; saving the new edited recalled value in the first numbering system; converting the new edited recalled value in the first numbering system from the first numbering system to the second numbering system, thereby creating an new edited recalled value in the second numbering system; and comparing the new edited recalled value in the second numbering system with the stored value, n times, where n is a whole number greater than one, such that at the nth occurrence of comparing the new edited recalled value in the second numbering system with the stored value, the nth new edited recalled value in the second numbering system does not equal the stored value; and selecting the n-1 new edited recalled value in the first numbering system as the display value.
