[Chinese keyword] Not just smartphones!Huawei "Harmonyos" who took off the veil

On the 2nd, Huawei Technical Limited Bouses said the basic software (OS) 2 "HARMONY, Harmony) 2, which can support mobile devices such as smartphones.."0", we officially announced various new products equipped with this.The "HARMONY OS" has been attracting external attention since the announcement, but is this an emergency measure under pressure in the first place, or is it a movement with a view to new competition?Is it a "re -baking" of existing software, or is it a new mission of industrial duration?

"HARMONY OS" that took off the veil

It has been two years since the "Harmony OS" was announced.Until now, it has been installed on IoT (Internet of Things) such as smartwatches and smart displays, but the whole OS of "Future -oriented" was wrapped in mysterious veil.

What is the "Harmony OS"?What is the "Harmony OS" used for smartphones?This is what users are interested in.As a whole, Harmony OS focuses on the user's experience and focuses on solving the problem that the OS is different for each device.

Huawei is a recital on the 2nd, and the "Harmony OS" is an OS for the next -generation smart device, which provides "unified language" for smart, interconnection, and cooperatives.I did.The "Harmony OS" is more convenient, smoother, safer, and the distributed -type operation function meets the needs of large and small devices with one system, achieving flexible arrangement.It is said that N devices are integrated into one "super terminal", it can be able to share hardware mutual support and resources, and adjust freely based on the needs of users.

Let's assume the usage scene.Suppose you are watching a movie at home late at night.If you drag the smart display icon to the smartphone icon, the screen you saw on your smartphone will be projected on the smart display.If you are wearing Huawei earphones, you can drag the earphone icon to the smartphone icon, and you can hear the audio with the earphone while looking at the screen on a smart display.In this case, you can enjoy the movie, it does not bother your family, and you can easily enjoy the convenience of super terminals.

"HARMONY OS" so far and now

In fact, Huawei has a long time ago in the 2012 crisis, and in 2011 he launched the "2012 Lab" and began its own development.Huawei thought that the Android system would be a problem in 2012, and decided to design and develop an OS that matched the future development.The "Harmony OS" project was launched in this way.

Eight years later, in 19 years, the "HARMONY OS" had to laid the backwater group, as long as the incapacitated pressure from overseas and industrial transformation were performed quickly.Overseas companies have stopped supply one after another, the supply of chips has been cut off, and the license of the Android system has been canceled, and the "HARMONY OS", which was planned to be launched in 20 years, has to be launched.On August 9, 2009, Mr. Yoshito, the highest executive officer (CEO) of the terminal division for the Huawei Consumer, "Harmony OS1."0" was announced for the first time and revealed the process of R & D, future plans and timelines.

However, the announcement caused many controversy.On the other hand, "Harmony OS1 at that time.The main applied scene of "0" remained on smart display, and the smartphone business, which needed urgent response, was not so rich.On the other hand, "Harmony OS1."0" is still a concept, and the programs corresponding to the system, even more, are still developing.However, those who have seen Huawei's business development process for consumers have continued to hopefully the Harmony OS.After that, Huawei launched the first 100 % proprietary compilation (translating programs into machine language) platforms, Ark (ARK) compiler, and "HARMONY OS" an open source system.

December 2010, "Harmony OS2.The beta version of "0" was released for developers.With this release, on the other hand, the applied scenes have spread to more devices, and for example, it can be used on Huawei wearable devices and in -vehicle systems.And on the other hand, a large amount of source code was released.

On the night of June 2, 2001, Huawei said "Harmonyos2."0" has officially announced several new products equipped with this.

Looking back, it can be seen that it was very difficult for the IoT system to turn into a smartphone OS.

Is "Harmony OS" only a smartphone OS?

For smartphone users who are familiar with Android and iOS, what is the "Harmony OS"?

Mr. King King, who is in charge of the "Harmony OS", says, "The OS of the PC era is Windows (Microsoft), and the OS of the smartphone era is iOS (Apple) and Android (Google). HARMONY OS is all about the Internet.It is an OS for the era of IOE).

If you use the "HARMONY OS", various hardware, including smartphones, will be connected, fused, and becomes one device.From smartphones, smartwatches, home appliances, cars, and cars, smart offices, smart transportation, smart home, and smart factory, the device in the "isolated island" will be connected with barrier -free, making it easier to operate.

Mr. Wang said, "We did not make alternatives for Androids and iOS. If there is no difference, it is difficult to create a new business ecosystem chain. I want to succeed with a new system.The key is to catch the timing of the industrial model conversion. IoT will develop rapidly, and it will be a period of the industry in the next 10 years, which will be a historic opportunity for our own OS.We have to develop business ecosystem on our base. "

Looking at the market reaction, China has a wide range of industrial financial systems in China, such as home appliances, home, sports and health, food and drinks, movies, music, entertainment, office and education.It shows an attitude.

In May this year, a beautiful group of Chinese home appliances announced related documents and announced that it would launch millions of products equipped with Harmony OS this year on the market."In the case of a steam oven range equipped with the" HARMONY OS "that has already been released, 1,000 units are sold in 3 weeks test sales," said the Vice President of Huawei Consumer Business AI (Artificial Intelligence).He has reached 10 times as expected. I am convinced that this data has the power to attract any hardware partner. "

I want to cross the "line that separates life and death" as soon as possible

For Huawei, market share is a hurdle that must be overcome.

On the other hand, smartphone makers have not yet revealed their attitude whether they will be equipped with the Harmony OS in the future.In the mobile terminal OS, Android and iOS are now overwhelming.In addition, "manufacturers with friendly relationships" such as OPPO and Vivo have their own interconnecting and compatible systems.

Mr. Yang recently, "The biggest challenge that" Harmony OS "faces at this time is a market share problem. According to the research research, it is a line that separates the life and death of the OS whether the market share exceeds 16 %.I understand. "

Therefore, Huawei aims to cover 300 million devices in HARMONY OS in 2010, of which 200 million units are their own devices, and the remaining 100 million units are devices for cooperative partners.Mr. Yang said, "Huawei wants to overcome this line that separates this life and death this year, so that other companies will take five to ten years on the road in the next year in the next year.That's how Huawei is the control right of its own device. Speaking of "Harmony OS", the key to 100 million cooperation partners, in fact, decides whether business ecosystems will be successful.Will be. "

However, both Androids and iOS are different from any existing system that the "Harmony OS" is a system that supports multiple devices of different types.In other words, it cannot be judged with a conventional market share.Is it possible to judge by share in the mobile phone market, or to judge by the share in the IoT market?Neither is appropriate.The number of devices to be connected will probably be the most likely indicators.

Regarding the outlook for the "Harmony OS" in the future, Mr. Ryo, an electric telecommunications industry analyst, said, "If you look at it relatively, in future smart connected devices, the chance of" Harmony OS "will increase. Smart Connected.Devices are not so high in systems, and there are many smart device manufacturers who can cooperate with Huawei. Most smart connected device manufacturers need to face the domestic market and need to worry about the reaction of the international market.No, "he said.(People's Network Japanese Version Members)
