In-depth analysis of Huawei HarmonyOS system operating system

According to the schedule of Huawei's HarmonyOS system, on June 2nd, 20021year, Huawei will hold a conference on the operating system of HarmonyOS system and Huawei's new products. According to Huawei's previous introduction, compared with HarmonyOS OS 1.0, HarmonyOS OS 2.0 can log in more intelligent terminal devices, and it will have brand-new changes in functions and architecture.

According to the annual report of 2020, Huawei's global terminal connection number has exceeded 654.38+0 billion, including 730 million mobile phone users. About 90% of Huawei's existing and sold mobile phones can upgrade the HarmonyOS system. # HarmonyOS System #

HarmonyOS system is a future-oriented all-scene distributed intelligent operating system.

For consumers, HarmonyOS system uses a unified software system, which fundamentally solves the problem of consumers facing a large number of intelligent terminal experiences and brings consumers a unified, convenient and safe intelligent full-scene experience.

HarmonyOS system technology architecture supports 1+8+N strategy.

In this strategy, 1 is a mobile phone, 8 includes tablet, PC, wearable, smart screen, AI speaker, earphone, VR, car, and n refers to the Internet of Everything. Through communication connection and application, it extends from the advantages of mobile phones to the periphery, and the technical architecture of HarmonyOS system has played a huge supporting role.

At the Huawei Ecological Conference 202 1 held on May 21,Xu Zhijun, the rotating chairman of Huawei, emphasized that Huawei plans to upgrade domestic 1+8 equipment to HarmonyOS system in 20021,and it is estimated that the total number will exceed 200 million by the end of 20021.

The important commercial value of HarmonyOS system operating system lies in providing more "connections", thus enhancing the added value and connotation of Huawei's hardware ecology, realizing the interconnection of Huawei's series of hardware products and even the interconnection of everything in smart cities, and driving Huawei's software and hardware ecology to continue to prosper.

The Internet of Things is an important layout of Huawei in the era of industrial Internet of Things. Huawei mainly focuses on infrastructure. The connection of mass low-cost terminal equipment needs to ensure controllable connection, continuous coverage of the whole network, and end-side (terminal), transmission and cloud security.

Huawei has chips such as Shengteng, Kunpeng and Qilin in both the cloud and the terminal. It has powerful computing power and efficient and flexible execution ability of HarmonyOS operating system, and will cultivate a large number of high-value applications.

HarmonyOS system operating system and Huawei's "cloud+terminal" chip form a powerful synergy, forming a killer application.

From the technical and ecological point of view, the operating system is of great significance to ICT manufacturers. The launch of the HarmonyOS operating system is of great significance to the self-controlled process of Huawei and China.

With the help of HarmonyOS operating system, Huawei will show its competitive advantages in ecology, hardware, first mover and continuous innovation, and become the leader in the 5G+ Internet of Things industry.

1, based on the characteristics of microkernel, distribution and cross-terminal, HarmonyOS system can better meet the needs of the Internet of Things era.

HarmonyOS system is a distributed operating system based on microkernel, which is suitable for all scenarios (mobile office, sports health, social interaction, media entertainment, etc. ).

The most important feature of HarmonyOS operating system is "distributed", that is, the same operating system can run on different types of terminals.

Ensure the "right person" through distributed multi-terminal collaborative identity authentication, ensure the "right equipment" through building a trusted running environment on distributed terminals, and ensure the "correct use of data" through classified and hierarchical management of distributed data in the process of cross-terminal flow.

In the field of Internet of Things hardware, the revolutionary distributed technology of HarmonyOS system can also help hardware manufacturers realize the industrial upgrading of "product as a service". For application developers, HarmonyOS system is more convenient and faster.

At present, Huawei's single system security capability has reached the extreme, becoming the first and only manufacturer in the industry to pass CCEAL5+ certification in the micro-kernel field.

2. Open source attracts more ecological partners to join.

Huawei began to develop HarmonyOS system operating system from 20 12, and HarmonyOS system OS aims to build an ecosystem and serve Huawei's hardware products.

On August 9th, 20 19, Huawei officially released HarmonyOS system, and Yu Chengdong announced that HarmonyOS system was open source.

HarmonyOS system adopts Apache licence open source protocol, which not only encourages code sharing, but also respects the copyright of the original author, making it easier to attract business.

Developers all over the world can use the HarmonyOS open source toolkit to develop various applications. At the same time, Huawei also spent $ 1 billion as a fund to help global developers develop innovative applications.

Previously, Samsung, Microsoft and Nokia all failed in their attempts to shut down the source operating system, while Google, which chose the open source route, successfully resisted Apple's iOS system and became the open source system with the largest number of mobile users.

3. Huawei's technology accumulation and massive ecology are the guarantee for the development of HarmonyOS system.

From the point of view of hardware binding, HarmonyOS system is similar to Apple; From the perspective of free and open source, it is similar to Android.

Judging from the split of financial reports, although Apple does not directly sell operating systems, its value-added revenue generated through operating systems exceeds $6,543.8+$0.5 billion. Google's revenue from operating system-related value-added services and licensing revenue exceeds billions of dollars.

The difference between HarmonyOS system 2.0 and IOS and Android;

Whether it is Google's Android or Apple's IOS, revenue is mainly achieved through advertising and APP sales commission. At present, HarmonyOS system can reach 70.80% of the Android level, and HMS ecosystem has become the third largest application ecosystem in the world. With the gradual maturity of the subsequent HMS ecosystem, with the huge number of terminals in HarmonyOS system, HMS ecosystem is expected to become Huawei's new revenue engine.

HarmonyOS's operating system is expected to accelerate the integration of localization schemes and the overall landing progress in the Internet of Things era, and the autonomous controllable kinetic energy of domestic software and hardware will be accelerated. The partners of Huawei's independent and controllable camp are expected to continue to benefit from the rapid expansion of HarmonyOS's ecosystem.

HarmonyOS system ecology has developed more than 1,000 smart hardware partners 1 1,000, including Midea, Jiuyang, Boss, He Run Software and Zhongke Chuangda, and more than 50 module and chip solution partners, covering partners in the fields of home, travel, education, office, sports health, government and enterprise, audio-visual entertainment and so on.

At present, Huawei and the top 200 APP vendors in the world are also communicating and cooperating, aiming to bring them a brand-new experience across terminal devices.

More than 120 well-known application vendors, such as JD.COM, Baidu, Youku, Iflytek and Jinshan Office, have started to innovate based on the HarmonyOS system, so that consumers can get a subversive intelligent life experience.

Huawei's ecological and overall self-control theme-related companies include Jinshan Office, UFIDA and Kingdee International. Dongfang Tong (middleware), Zhongke Chuangda (system development), He Run Software (multi-chip platform adaptation), Changshan Beiming (ISV), Chengmai Technology (software development), Beixinyuan (mobile security), Gao Weida (financial cloud), etc.

Huawei Smart Life APP has more than 54 million active users, more than 65.438+0.8 billion daily requests and more than 65.438+0 billion connected devices. With the further unification of HiLink and HarmonyOS system, it is expected that the number of access devices in HarmonyOS system will be further increased.

In the future, HarmonyOS OS will undertake the interconnection of Huawei's hardware products, including televisions, speakers, routers, smart cars and even the interconnection of everything in smart cities, thus forming a larger Huawei software and hardware ecosystem.
