 The 3G era is approaching, and mobile data services based on mobile wireless networks will become a new business growth point in the field of wireless communications. Through mobile mobile terminals, experiencing various mobile data services including downloading, streaming media, WAP, MMS, etc., is becoming a new trend in the development of data services.

 Figure 1 shows a typical network structure for mobile data services. The following components are included: User terminal (UE) 101: refers to a terminal device such as a user's mobile phone or a personal digital assistant (PDA), which realizes a service experience.

 Wireless Core Network (Network) 102: Implements the carrying and transmission of mobile data service data streams.

 Service Engine (SE, Service Enabler) 103: includes WAP gateway ( WAP GW), download platform (DLSC, Download Service Center), multimedia messaging service center (MMSC), and streaming media platform (PSSC, Packet Streaming Service Center) Such as the business engine, to achieve the support of mobile data services capabilities.

 Data Service Management Platform (MDS Data. Service Management: Platform) 104: Provides unified mobile data services and content management functions. The typical value-added service management platform has a content management subsystem (CMS, Content Management Subsystem) built in, which enables unified management of mobile data services.

Data Service Application System (App Server) 105: An application server provided by a Content Provider/Service Provider (CP/SP) provides wireless mobile data service services. Portal 106: A service access system provided by an operator or an SP that implements the entry of business content presentation and access services.

 The mobile data service user accesses the mobile data service through the user terminal. The general process is as shown in FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of the user terminal accessing the mobile data service in the prior art.

 Step 201: A user terminal, such as a mobile phone/PDA, initiates a login portal request, and the request is based on a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), so the request may also be referred to as an HTTP request.

 Step 202: The foregoing login request is carried by a WAP gateway (WAP GW) and forwarded to a portal system provided by the operator or the CP/SP.

 Step 203: The portal system authenticates the validity of the user login. After the authentication is passed, the user terminal is allowed to access the service content provided by the portal system.

 Step 204: The user terminal interacts with the portal system through the WAP GW, selects a service/content that the user likes, and initiates a service/content access request.

 Steps 205 ~ 206, the portal system receives the service/content access request from the user terminal, and sends it to the CP/SP application server through the service engine platform.

 Step 207: The CP/SP application server delivers the corresponding content according to the request of the user.

 Steps 208 ~ 209, the content delivered by the CP/SP application server is transmitted to the user terminal through the service engine platform and the WAP GW, and the entire process of the user accessing the service/content is completed.

 It can be seen from the above process that the terminal user accesses the mobile data service through the application system such as the portal portal, and the content terminal adaptation of the mobile data service mainly depends on the portal portal.

 Due to the variety of mobile terminals such as mobile phones and PDAs on the market, the support for wireless application download protocol standards is not compromised. At the same time, terminal manufacturers have developed a large number of applications that rely on terminal types to protect their own interests, resulting in the Portal portal system. It is impossible to provide a more complete terminal adaptation scheme, or some portal systems simply do not provide terminal adaptation functions. The direct consequence of this is that the user downloads various mobile data application content, but it cannot be used due to the terminal adaptation problem, which damages the vital interests of the end user.

Currently, the most important method of the portal system is to store the data service content files in different directories. After logging in to the portal system, the user selects the corresponding menu according to the type of the terminal, enters the corresponding directory, and accesses the content applicable to the terminal type. An example of the process of a user accessing a service is as follows: Referring to FIG. 3, after the user logs in to the portal system, the user needs to first select a corresponding menu according to the type of the terminal, enter the content storage partition corresponding to the terminal type, and select the content of the favorite content in the partition to download.

 In the process of implementing the present invention, the inventors have found that the solution for providing terminal content adaptation by means of service content partition storage has the following disadvantages:

 The user experience is poor: The end user needs to perform multiple operations to select the content that is applicable to its terminal type, and the cumbersome operation steps lead to a greatly reduced user interface friendliness.

 The technical threshold is higher: This kind of terminal adaptation scheme requires the end user to have a good understanding of the type of the terminal. For some middle-aged and old children and other users who cannot correctly identify the terminal type, the corresponding content cannot be correctly selected for access.

 The adaptation scheme has drawbacks: If the end user deliberately selects content that is not suitable for his own terminal type for download access, the portal system cannot impose restrictions. Summary of the invention
