Abstract - The project is a medical related data sharing
between two parts: One part is the hospital management
treated as the admin part and then patient side to be treated
as the user part. The admin uploads the medical record (Data
and patient ID) in a cloud platform which can then be
searched using the particular patient ID. The medical
document reference ID automatically converts to the QR code
using QRDroid function, and then we can download the
particular document. The user Registration module here
includes the OTP system .The main advantages of this project
is more secure transaction between two sides, more flexible,
easy access , finally paper free report. In existing system, RFID
technology was used, which is not suitable for more sensible
data storing and it is not compatible in all sectors.
Key Words: Android, Encryption, Internet, Decryption,
QR Code.
1. INTRODUCTION
Today is the world of android phones and their applications
have now become an integral part of almost all sectors such
as health, entertainment, office, college, banking etc. With
the increase of android devices, many problems like privacy
leakages have also increased. The user’s private i nformation
can be accessed easily. In many applications, the user accepts
the terms and conditions but they are unaware about that
their private information can be leaked by certain
applications without permission. There is an android
permission system which controls the admittance of
resources of the mobile device. Hence permissions can be
misused deliberately so imposing permissions is not enough
to prevent from permission violations. Android’s
enforcement of the permissions is at the level of individual
apps, allowing multiple malevolent apps to collude and
combine their permissions or to trick vulnerable apps to
execute actions on their behalf that are beyond their
individual rights.
2. QR Code Format
The structure of a QR code consists of a 2D matrix where
each cell is of 1pixel area. In general, QR code consists of
square black modules on a white background where the
black square defines 0 in binary and the white square
defines 1 in binary. In practice, the whole part of a QR code
isn’t used for only storing information, rather it consists of
different sections. In this section we will review the sections
in a QR Code
Fig -1: Schematic Diagram of QR Code
1. Finder Pattern: In QR Code finder pattern is a 3X3 matrix
in 3 corners of the square except the bottom right corner.
The QR finder pattern helps the decoder software to identify
the correct orientation of the QR code.
ʹ. Separators: Separators are used to separate the finder’s
pattern from actual information. The width of separators is
1pixel and it is of complete white.
3. Format Information: The Format Information, a 15 bits
section next to the separators, stores information about the
error correction level of the QR Code and the chosen
masking pattern.
4. Alignment Pattern: Alignment Patterns support the
decoder software in compensating for moderate image
distortions.
5. Timing Pattern: Timing pattern consists of the alternate
black and white boxes, which allows the decoding software
to recognize the width of each module.
6. Data: In data section, information, converted in bit stream
is stored in 8-bit parts named code words.
7. Error Correction Section: In this section information is
stored in similar manner as the data section. It, as the name
suggests, is used for error corrections.
8. Remainder Section: This section consists of empty bits, if
data and error correction bits cannot be divided properly
into 8 bit code words.
3. PROPSED SYSTEM
A QR code is created by encoding the mobile phone user’s
emergency and medical information (such as the name and
contact details of the user’s next of kin, their doctor or
specialist, blood group, allergies, etc.). The created code
