Socket Programming - Clinic Management System
The project focuses on core socket programming concepts for developing a client(patient)-server(doctor) system. It consists of following three phases -
- Phase 1 - A TCP connectionn between patient and health center server in which the health center server will check for only the registered patients based on the credentials provided by the patient. Once the patient is been authorized, it moves ahead to Phase 2.
- Phase 2 - The same connection continues and the patients would requuest the health center server for available time solts and the server would send the list accordingly. Threading was used to create child and parent sockets so that the concurrency is served properly when two patients request at the same time.
- Phase 3 - Patient would make use of the allotted doctor port from health center to setup a UDP socket with the doctor. Here also, threading was used to create two doctor threads so that they can serve individually and terminate once the patient is been attended.
