Content Sharing Method, Terminal, Server, and System

A method, comprising:

• sending, by a source terminal, a request for obtaining an address of a destination terminal cloud server to a destination terminal via a rich communication suite (RCS) server, and receiving the address of the destination terminal cloud server returned by the destination terminal via the RCS server;
• sending, by the source terminal, a content sending command to a source terminal cloud server, wherein the content sending command carries the address of the destination terminal cloud server;
• sending, by the source terminal cloud server, a connection request to the destination terminal cloud server according to the address of the destination terminal cloud server;
• and
• sending, by the source terminal cloud server, shared content to the destination terminal cloud server after a connection is established.

A terminal, comprising

• a processor;
• and
• a computer-readable storage medium storing a program to be executed by the processor, the program including instructions for:
• sending a request for obtaining an address of a destination terminal cloud server to a destination terminal via rich communication suite (RCS) server, and receiving the address of the destination terminal cloud server sent by the destination terminal via the RCS server;
• sending an ID of shared content to a source terminal cloud server, and receiving a random verification code that corresponds to the ID of the shared content and is returned by the source terminal cloud server;
• determining, according to the ID of the shared content and the received random verification code, whether the shared content is uploaded to the source terminal cloud server;
• and
• when determining that the shared content is uploaded to the source terminal cloud server, sending a content sending command to the source terminal cloud server, wherein the content sending command carries the address of the destination terminal cloud server, and the address of the destination terminal cloud server is used to make the source terminal cloud server send the shared content to the destination terminal cloud server.

A content sharing server, comprising:

• a transceiver, configured to receive a content sending command sent by a terminal, wherein the content sending command carries an address of a destination terminal cloud server;
• a processor;
• and
• a computer-readable storage medium storing a program to be executed by the processor, the program including instructions for:
• parsing the content sending command received by the transceiver, to obtain the address of the destination terminal cloud server,
• sending a connection establishment request to the destination terminal cloud server, and after establishing a connection to the destination terminal cloud server, sending shared content to the destination terminal cloud server;
• and
• sending the connection establishment request to the destination terminal cloud server and establishing the connection to the destination terminal cloud server, and sending the shared content to the destination terminal cloud server;
• wherein the terminal exchanges information with a destination terminal via a rich communication suite (RCS) server.

A content sharing system, comprising:

• a source terminal;
• a source terminal cloud server;
• a destination terminal;
• and
• a destination terminal cloud server;
• wherein the source terminal is configured to send a request for obtaining an address of the destination terminal cloud server to the destination terminal via a rich communication suite (RCS) server;
• wherein the destination terminal is configured to return the address of the destination terminal cloud server to the source terminal;
• wherein the source terminal is further configured to send a content sending command to the source terminal cloud server, wherein the content sending command carries the address of the destination terminal cloud server;
• wherein the source terminal cloud server is configured to send a connection request to the destination terminal cloud server according to the address of the destination terminal cloud server;
• wherein the destination terminal cloud server is configured to return, to the source terminal cloud server, a response to the connection request;
• and
• wherein the source terminal cloud server is further configured to send shared content to the destination terminal cloud server after a connection is established.
