Abstract

A method, a mobile device, and system for transmitting files are disclosed. The method includes a first mobile device transmitting a file to a second mobile device in a first transmission mode when receiving a file transmission request for transmitting the file to the second terminal from a user. In transmitting the file, the first mobile device judges in real-time whether the size of the remaining part of the file is greater than or equal to a preconfigured threshold; and if yes, judges whether the first mobile device is able to establish a connection with the second mobile device with a higher transmission rate than that in the first transmission mode. The first mobile device may then switch the transmission mode and adopt the second transmission mode to transmit the remaining part of the file.
