Abstract

A request message requesting a service is received from a terminal device. Computer code is transmitted to the terminal device, and a communication connection request is received from the terminal device in response to running the computer code on the terminal device. In response to receiving the communication connection request, a communication connection is established to the terminal device. A first IP address associated with the terminal device is determined based on one or more communications transmitted through the communication connection.
