Abstract: A method for identifying a fingerprint, a fingerprint identification apparatus and an electronic device are provided. The method includes: acquiring light signals in multiple directions reflected via a sampled object above a display screen; generating a plurality of two-dimensional 2D fingerprint images respectively based on the light signals; determining whether the sampled object is a three-dimensional 3D object based on the plurality of 2D fingerprint images; and if the sampled object is the 3D object, performing fingerprint identification based on at least one of the plurality of 2D fingerprint images.

Abstract: An online system allows users to exchange messages with other users, including entities such as businesses. A user, such as a business, may use a third party system to manage messages with users of the online system. The online system provides the third party information with instructions comprising tracking mechanisms that identify specific actions between users from messages exchanged between users. For example, if a user purchases a product from another user via a message thread, a tracking mechanism identifies the purchase and transmits information reporting the purchase and identifying users to the online system. Hence, the tracking mechanism transmits a description of an action and information identifying the users to the online system, and may also transmit additional information, such as a value of the action to a user. The online system may use the descriptions of actions for content targeting or measurement and reporting of actions.

Abstract: A patient appointment schedule is generated for an open access time window (typically a single day). A no show likelihood is assigned for each time slot based on past patient no show (missed appointment) information, and time slots whose no show likelihood exceeds a threshold are designated as open access time slots. The patient appointment schedule is displayed. During scheduling, an unfilled time slot may be allocated to a patient so as to be converted to a filled time slot, or conversely a filled time slot may be deallocated so that the filled time slot is converted to an unfilled time slot. However, unfilled open access time slots are allocated to patients only during the open access time window, so as to accommodate patients who should be seen on the same day they call.
