Abstract

A file download method for a mobile device, a server and a mobile device thereof, and a computer-readable medium are provided. In the method, the server obtains file identification information according to an access operation of a terminal device on a service website. When the file identification information corresponds to a file of a first type, the server transmits the file of the first type to the mobile device directly. When the file identification corresponds to a file of a second type, the server transmits the file identification information to the mobile device, so that the mobile device downloads the file of the second type according to the file identification information.

Claims

1. A file download method for a mobile device, comprising:

(a) obtaining a file identification information by a server according to an access operation of a terminal device on a service website; and

(b) when the file identification information corresponds to a file of a first type, transmitting the file of the first type to the mobile device by the server.

2. The file download method for the mobile device as claimed in claim 1, wherein when the file identification information corresponds to a file of a second type, the step (b) is a step of transmitting the file identification information to the mobile device by the server so that the mobile device downloads the file of the second type from a file providing platform according to the file identification information.

3. The file download method for the mobile device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the step (a) comprises:

selecting at least one specific file displayed on the service website; and

when the terminal device performs a select operation to one of the at least one specific file, obtaining the file identification information of the specific file corresponding to the select operation.

4. The file download method for the mobile device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the file of the first type is provided by the server.

5. The file download method for the mobile device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the step of downloading the file of the second type by the mobile device comprises:

displaying a user interface according to the file identification information; and

when a download instruction corresponding to the file of the second type is received through the user interface, connecting with the file providing platform providing the file of the second type to download the file of the second type.

6. A mobile device, comprising:

a storage unit;

a wireless communication module, for connecting the mobile device to a server providing a service website, wherein the server obtains a file identification information according to an access operation of a terminal device on the service website; and

a processing module, coupled to the storage unit and the wireless communication module,

wherein when the file identification information corresponds to a file of a first type, the processing module receives the file of the first type from the server through the wireless communication module, and stores the file of the first type to the storage unit.

7. The mobile device as claimed in claim 6, wherein when the file identification information corresponds to a file of a second type, the processing module receives the file identification information from the server through the wireless communication module, and downloads the file of the second type from a file providing platform to the storage unit according to the file identification information.

8. The mobile device as claimed in claim 6, wherein the file of the first type is provided by the server.

9. The mobile device as claimed in claim 7, further comprising:

a display module, coupled to the processing module,

wherein the processing module displays a user interface on the display module according to the file identification information, and controls the wireless communication module to connect with the file providing platform providing the file of the second type to download the file of the second type to the storage unit when a download instruction corresponding to the file of the second type is received through the user interface.

10. A server, comprising:

a data transmission module; and

a service providing module, coupled to the data transmission module, the service providing module providing a service website, and obtaining a file identification information according to an access operation of a terminal device on the service web site,

wherein when the file identification information corresponds to a file of a first type, the service providing module controls the data transmission module to transmit the file of the first type to a mobile device.

11. The server as claimed in claim 10, wherein when the file identification information corresponds to a file of a second type, the service providing module controls the data transmission module to transmit the file identification information to the mobile device so that the mobile device downloads the file of the second type from a file providing platform according to the file identification information.

12. The server as claimed in claim 10, wherein the service providing module determines at least one specific file displayed on the service website, and when the terminal device performs a select operation to one of the at least one specific file, the service providing module obtains the file identification information of the specific file corresponding to the select operation.

13. The server as claimed in claim 10, wherein the file of the first type is provided by the server.

14. A computer-readable medium, storing at least one program instruction adapted to be loaded into a mobile device, the at least one program instruction executes at least following steps after being loaded into the mobile device:

connecting with a server providing a service website, wherein the server obtains a file identification information according to an access operation of a terminal device on the service website;

when the file identification information corresponds to a file of a first type, receiving the file of the first type from the server; and

when the file identification information corresponds to a file of a second type, receiving the file identification information from the server, and downloading the file of the second type according to the file identification information.

15. A computer-readable medium, storing at least one program instruction adapted to be loaded into a server, the at least one program instruction executes at least following steps after being loaded into the server;

obtaining a file identification information according to an access operation of a terminal device on a service website;

when the file identification information corresponds to a file of a first type, transmitting the file of the first type to a mobile device; and

when the file identification information corresponds to a file of a second type, transmitting the file identification information to the mobile device so that the mobile device downloads the file of the second type according to the file identification information.
