Abstract

A data transmission system includes a mobile originated device and at least one cloud server. The mobile originated device obtains information of at least one datum to be transmitted. The mobile originated device builds connections with several candidate mobile devices through a first wireless data transmission interface, and selects at least one target mobile device from the candidate mobile devices. The mobile originated device obtains target-mobile-device information of the target mobile device through the first wireless data transmission interface. The mobile originated device transmits the target-mobile-device information and the information of the datum to be transmitted to the cloud server through a second wireless data transmission interface. The cloud server assists the mobile originated device to transmit the datum to be transmitted to the target mobile device according to the target-mobile-device information and the information of the datum to be transmitted.
