Care2Graph Websocket Documentation

1. Overview

The server is a Java-based backend application designed to manage and distribute real-time alarm information to user interfaces, likely for a healthcare or care facility environment. It acts as a central hub, receiving alarm data, processing it, persisting it, and relaying it to connected clients (e.g. Web Applications or Mobile Apps) via WebSockets.

2. Core Purpose

To provide a robust backend system for:

• Managing the lifecycle of alarms (creation, updates, acceptance, deletion/cancellation).

• Authenticating and managing client sessions for alarm UIs.

• Broadcasting real-time alarm updates to connected UI clients via WebSockets.

3. Detailed Documentation and Diagrams

For a comprehensive understanding of the system's communication protocols and architecture, please refer to the following resources available within this knowledge database:

• WebSocket Documentation: This document provides a detailed specification of the WebSocket communication protocol, including message formats and authentication procedures.

• UML Sequence Diagrams: A set of UML sequence diagrams visually illustrates the interaction flows for various WebSocket operations, including authentication, alarm management, and real-time updates. These diagrams are based on the backend implementation and provide a clear visual guide to the message exchanges.
