in response to that the network latency of the wireless communication link and the network latency of the mobile communication link are both higher than or equal to an expected latency, determining both the wireless communication link and the mobile communication link as the target transmission link; and
performing data transmission with the target server corresponding to the second application based on the target transmission link.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the performing data transmission with the target server corresponding to the second application based on the target transmission link comprises:
obtaining interactive data of the second application to be transmitted; encapsulating the interactive data based on a target transmission protocol to obtain first data; and transmitting the first data to the target server based on the target transmission link.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the transmitting the first data to the target server based on the target transmission link comprises:
transmitting the first data to an acceleration server based on the target transmission link, so that the acceleration server transmits the interactive data obtained by parsing the first data to the target server.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the performing data transmission with the target server corresponding to the second application based on the target transmission link comprises:
receiving second data based on the target transmission link, the second data being interactive data returned by the target server to the second application.

5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein when the target transmission link comprises the wireless communication link and the mobile communication link, the receiving second data based on the target transmission link comprises:
when the second data is received from either communication link of the wireless communication link and the mobile communication link: retaining the second data when the second data currently received is received for the first time; and discarding the second data when the currently received second data is not received for the first time.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining the target transmission link based on the network latency of a mobile communication link and the network latency of a wireless communication link further comprises:
determining the wireless communication link as the target transmission link when the network latency of the wireless communication link is lower than an expected latency; and determining the mobile communication link as the target transmission link when the network latency of the mobile communication link is lower than the expected latency.
