After the central device obtains the network service switching capability from the server, the central device determines the service switching policy according to the second determining criterion set in advance.

Business switching strategies include but are not limited to:

1) Business switching method.

For example, the service switching mode can be divided into local service switching and network service switching. The network service switching refers to that the target terminal establishes a service switching with the server through the central device. Local service switching means that the central device does not change the existing business process, so that the current terminal service is switched to the target terminal through the central device.

2) Ways of running the business

You can determine how the business operates after switching. For example, the current terminal is released, the multi-terminal service is coordinated, and the current terminal is relayed.

Further, the service switching policy further includes:

1) If the central device has the network service switching capability, a new service connection can be established with the server, and the current terminal service can all be switched to the target terminal on the newly established service connection. Then, the target terminal re-establishes a service connection with the server through the central device, and the server transmits the service to the internal network through the central device, and then forwards the packet to the corresponding target terminal. The current terminal releases the original service link after the handover is completed.

2) If the central device has the network service switching capability, a new service connection can be established with the central device. Currently, the terminal service part is switched to the target terminal on the newly established service connection. Then, the terminal re-establishes a service connection with the server through the central device, and the server transmits the service to the internal network through the central device, and then forwards the service to the corresponding current terminal or target terminal. The current terminal and the destination The target terminal synchronization is coordinated by the central device. The current terminal determines whether to release the original service link after the handover is completed according to service requirements.

3) If the server verifies that the terminal is legal or the central device does not have the network service switching capability. The central device performs service switching according to local capabilities, such as multi-screen applications such as video forwarding. For example, the mobile phone screen is displayed on the target terminal designated by the user through the forwarding of the center device.

4) If the server or the central device finds that the current capability of the target terminal is insufficient to support the handover of the service, the capability of the target terminal may be upgraded, and then it is determined whether the handover can be accepted.

If the central device or the server finds that the current remaining resources of the target terminal are insufficient to support the handover of the service, the resource usage of the target terminal may be adjusted, and then it is determined whether the handover can be accepted.

Step 104: The central device completes the service switching according to the determined service switching policy.

1) If the local service is switched, the central device forwards the service according to the local capability and performs the cross-screen application. For example, the mobile phone screen is displayed on the target terminal designated by the user through the forwarding of the center device.

2) If the network service is switched, the central device needs to initiate a network service switching request to the server, and the server transmits the service to the internal network through the central device, and then forwards the message to the corresponding target terminal. The terminal service is switched to the target terminal in whole or in part. The server passes the service to the internal network through the central device and forwards it to the corresponding target terminal.

3) If the multi-terminal is coordinated, the current terminal also needs to perform corresponding service switching; otherwise, the original service link is released after the handover is completed.

The advantages of using the embodiment of the present invention are: being controlled by the central device, and the interaction between the central device, the terminal, and the server may be determined according to various conditions such as server service requirements, terminal capabilities, and terminal resource usage. The criterion is to determine whether the service can be switched from the current terminal to the target terminal.
