Abstract

A server is provided, which includes a terminal determining unit which determines a destination terminal to share a service when a service request sent by any terminal is received or when it is detected that a network-side needs to share the service, a generation unit which generates service network topology structure information corresponding to the service according to the destination terminal, and a network determining unit which determines a hosted network corresponding to the service according to the service network topology structure information. Correspondingly, a data transmission method is also provided.

a memory storing computer-readable program codes; and

a processor configured to execute the computer-readable program codes to;

based on a determination that a service request sent by a terminal is received or that it is detected that a network-side needs to share a service, determine a destination terminal to share the service;

generate service network topology structure information corresponding to the service based on the destination terminal;

determine a hosted network corresponding to the service based on the service network topology structure information; and

transmit a networking recommendation to the destination terminal after the hosted network corresponding to the service is determined, and determine whether the hosted network is established according to networking feedback information of the destination terminal.

2. The server of claim 1, wherein the service request comprises a service sharing request and a normal service request.

3. The server of claim 2, wherein the computer-readable program codes further comprise program codes to:

when the service request is received from the terminal and the service request is the normal service request, search in databases according to the normal service request to determine at least one of;

whether a device to device (D2D) sharing network corresponding to the service exists, whether other users launch the same service request, and whether the other users have same service requirement; and

determine the destination terminal according to search results.

4. The server of claim 3, wherein the databases comprise a database of the server and databases of other servers, and the computer-readable program codes further comprise program codes to:

transmit the normal service request to the other servers, wherein the other servers search in corresponding databases to determine at least one of;

whether the D2D sharing network corresponding to the service exists, whether the other users launch the same service request, and whether the other users have the same service requirement; and

receive the search results from the other servers.

5. The server of claim 2, wherein the computer-readable program codes further comprise program codes to:

when the service request sent by the terminal is received and the service request is the service sharing request, determine multiple group terminals, wherein a first interest group of the multiple group terminals is the same as a second interest group of the terminal, and transmit a service sharing notification to the multiple group terminals; and

determine the destination terminal according to service sharing feedback information transmitted by the multiple group terminals.

6. The server of claim 2, wherein the computer-readable program codes comprise further program codes to:
