The present invention provides a service processing method and a server, which belong to the field of mobile terminals. The method includes: installing, on a server, a service application same as that of a mobile terminal; running the service application on the server, and executing, in place of the mobile terminal, a service corresponding to the service application; determining, by the server according to a result of executing the service, whether the mobile terminal needs to be woken up; and when the service needs to wake up the mobile terminal, instructing the mobile terminal to process the service. The server executes a service in place of a mobile terminal, and when the mobile terminal needs to be woken up, instructs the mobile terminal to process the service, thereby reducing the power consumption of the mobile terminal, and extending the standby time and service life of the mobile terminal.
