2019 Annual Report (^55)
As an underlying software technology that was
developed in-house, the HUAWEI ARK Compiler
provides brand-new mechanisms for compiling and
running systems and applications. It is also the first
static compiler capable of performing on par with
Android’s virtual machine. The HUAWEI ARK Compiler
addresses Android operating efficiency problems in
the underlying layer, while the Deterministic Latency
Engine ensures system tasks are executed orderly
and efficiently, bringing users consistently smooth
experiences.
EMUI 10.0, for the first time, applies the concept of
a distributed system to all-scenario device systems.
The software system can abstract the hardware
capabilities of devices and provide them to upper-layer
applications through the virtual resource pool. This
allows applications to intelligently invoke multiple
devices on demand. When using EMUI 10.0, consumers
will benefit from the intelligent collaboration of
multiple devices, and enjoy a high-quality experience
equal to using one incredibly powerful virtual device.
Microkernel-based HarmonyOS is an intelligent,
distributed, next-generation operating system that can
capabilities to substantially reduce costs and drive
innovation for optimal and intelligent app experiences.
In its infancy, HUAWEI HiAI 1.0 supported only
single type devices. 2.0 expanded to support devices
such as smartphones, tablets, and smart screens.
Now, HUAWEI HiAI 3.0 goes even further, pooling
hardware resources to form super devices. Powered by
distributed AI, devices reinforce each other, providing
users with the best possible experience.
Thanks to the aforementioned open capabilities, global
and regional mainstream apps have been quickly
launched on the AppGallery, and over 55,000 apps
have been integrated with HMS Core worldwide. The
AppGallery is available in more than 170 countries and
regions, providing a huge array of high-quality global
and local apps for users. The platform also provides
unique, innovative, and intelligent experiences while
strictly protecting user privacy. In 2019, there were 210
billion app downloads from the AppGallery, while its
monthly active users exceeded 400 million. The Quick
App available on the AppGallery brings revolutionary
mobile app experiences to Huawei’s device users, who
can run apps without installing them. The Quick App
will build a new app ecosystem in the 5G era.
be deployed on multiple devices. It decouples hardware
capabilities from devices and connects different devices
through distributed virtual buses, allowing applications
to easily invoke the peripheral hardware capabilities
of other devices. HarmonyOS delivers a seamless
experience to consumers across devices, and meets
the new requirements for operating systems in the
all-scenario, intelligent era.
HMS: We have built basic capabilities in cloud services
worldwide. HMS is now available in more than 170
countries and regions, and we have established six
regional operations centers and 15 data centers
around the world to support these services.
At the same time, we leverage our unique capabilities
in chip-device-cloud synergy to continuously improve
the HMS app experience surrounding our Seamless AI
Life strategy. Many of our apps, such as AppGallery,
HUAWEI Browser, HUAWEI Assistant, HUAWEI Video,
HUAWEI Music, HUAWEI Reader, HUAWEI Themes,
HUAWEI Mobile Cloud, and HUAWEI Wallet have been
launched around the world. By the end of 2019, HMS
had over 400 million monthly active users, and was
winning over an increasing number of consumers.
Building Open HMS and HiLink Ecosystems for Developers to Deliver Inspired Customer
Experiences
App ecosystem: The Consumer BG continuously
builds competitiveness targeting the ecosystem
and experiences. We fully opened up our HMS to
developers around the world, allowing them to quickly
and conveniently access the HMS ecosystem for app
innovation and ecosystem resource sharing.
HMS Core provides the key capabilities that can
help developers focus on innovation. This allows
them to readily access the HMS ecosystem, and
intelligently distribute apps to all devices across all
scenarios worldwide. In 2019, Huawei opened up its
chip-device-cloud capabilities to developers, including
HMS Core like Maps, Machine Learning, Scan, Account,
Push, In-App Purchases, and Ads. We also launched
Quick App and HUAWEI Ability worldwide, helping app
developers deliver innovative app experiences to 600
million Huawei device users around the world.
HUAWEI HiAI, an open AI capability platform for
smart devices, has entered phase 3.0. With its
chip-device-cloud architecture, HUAWEI HiAI opens
up chipset, app, and service capabilities, enabling
developers to leverage Huawei’s powerful AI processing
