Abstract

A service platform for a ubiquitous network includes an application layer interface, a function implementation layer, a data processing layer, and a resource access layer. The application layer interface is configured to provide universal capability and support for a service application, and to provide a unified open interface to perform dynamic adaptation according to a user'"'"'s requirement for a service. The function implementation layer is configured to implement cooperative service download and to directly provide the service for the user. The data processing layer is configured to directly perform data processing on the service for the user and to perform data processing for multiple terminals to cooperatively perform the service download. The resource access layer is configured to access network resources. A service implementation method in a ubiquitous-network based service platform is also provided.
