Meizu zhizao Flyme 6: a high-value system of human brain thinking

IT 168 Evaluation At the CES exhibition in 20 17, innovation in the field of smart phones was still the highlight of the exhibition. Artificial intelligence, voice input and machine learning have attracted much attention, and technological progress has made the interaction between smartphones and humans more intuitive. Smartphones are more and more in line with the way of thinking of the human brain, and truly understand the needs of users and their operating habits.

At the end of last year 1 1, the belated Flyme 6 finally met with you. At present, the first version of Flyme 6 system has been officially launched. As an annual version iteration that lasted for more than 430 days, Flyme 6' s refreshed UI interface and brand-new interaction really made people shine, and the artificial intelligence One Mind promoted in the conference also showed us what a mobile phone system with "human brain thinking" is. For the first time, we used PRO 6s in our hands to paint the newly baked Flyme 6 system. "The only difference is that every place is different." This copy just vividly describes the changes of Flyme 6.

How to define high face value: the aesthetic taste of "simplicity"

Everyone has a different definition of "good-looking", but it is the basic principle to meet people's aesthetic needs and bring people a comfortable and pleasant feeling visually. Among many third-party customized Roms, whether Huawei is a "business fan" or a "creative fan", the hammer has its own characteristics, but the author is more attracted by Meizu's Flyme. "Concise and refreshing" is his most obvious feature. Because of conciseness, it is easier to make people feel comfortable. After upgrading to Flyme 6, although the overall style has changed a lot compared with the previous generation system, Meizu's simple aesthetics is still "original".

Although the design of Flyme 6 has not escaped the fate of imitating iOS, the characteristics of Meizu have been largely preserved. The icons redesigned by color matching still maintain the original "fresh" route, and the gradually changing icon design makes the picture look "textured".

On the other hand, Flyme 6 has also made changes in fonts in line with the user's usage patterns. The human brain's response to electronic reading is based on clear text content. All fonts of Flyme 6 are "bold and deepened", which makes important information more eye-catching. Although a small number of users are not suitable for spitting, when reading text after bold, the difference between font and background color will really make people recognize it faster and read it more intuitively. This emphasis on font design actually makes Flyme 6 more mature than the previous slim style.

Deep into the application interface, the content is presented in a T-shaped structure, and the categories are switched horizontally, which takes care of one-handed operation to a certain extent. The picture typesetting and text presentation of each page are very uniform, which is in line with our usage habits visually and interactively.

The author was also impressed by the dynamic effect of Flyme 6, which Meizu called ActionView Activision System. Take the weather application as an example, it supports the classic dynamic weather background. It will be blurred when there is smog. There will be sunshine on sunny days, and snowflakes will fly when it snows, which is quite fresh. It is worth mentioning that Flyme 6 still maintains a very high fluency with the addition of various animations. Being silky like Dove is not a stunt.

The same is true for music applications. In addition to presenting a high-quality album cover, the colors of the main background and playback controls will also change with the color of the album cover to achieve visual unity. A total of 200 dynamic effects have been added, and almost all the feedback from the interface has different animations, and the senses come to life immediately.

The color choice of Flyme 6 is very pleasing to the eye, preferring bright and full colors. With a simple and elegant background, it perfectly interprets what is a high-value system that conforms to the aesthetics of the human eye.

Smart phone with "human brain thinking": keep learning and think what you want.

What does the intelligence of smart phones mean? That is, mobile phones can solve problems for human beings like human assistants, thinking what you think, as if they have "human brain thinking." The motivation for consumers to buy smart phones is to use the most innovative and intelligent functions on the latest smart phones. However, many domestic mobile phone systems are "more functional than intelligent" because of the lack of analysis of consumer demand. Flyme 6 seems to be trying to avoid this, so the biggest breakthrough of this upgrade is the first integration of the intelligent thinking engine One Mind, which is artificial intelligence.

From the author's running experience, Flyme 6 artificial intelligence system can intelligently identify application scenarios, predict demand in a targeted manner, optimize resource allocation, and ensure the smooth operation of tasks. Among them, some new functions such as game mode, self-repair, process harvesting, lightning start and so on are opened for several common daily life scenes.

Take the game mode as an example. When the user starts the game mode, in this mode, he will take the lead in ensuring the allocation of memory resources of the game to make it run more smoothly, and at the same time shield unimportant floating notices, prohibit gesture operation, and prevent accidental touch, so as to provide certain network protection for networked battle games and obtain a better game experience. The author tried the game clash royale, and there was no delay in dispatching troops, so there was no need to worry about external factors interfering with the game.

More importantly, with the continuous use of users, Yixintong will gradually learn the user's usage habits, and combined with the cloud service strategy, it can make certain predictions before the user's behavior, and then schedule resources in advance, so that the smooth switch can be applied, making the mobile phone more and more useful.

Flyme 6' s artificial intelligence also goes deep into One Mind details, such as notification sorting in the notification bar. The system will automatically recognize the importance of notifications pushed by applications, and put important information pushes at the forefront, such as the push of instant messaging software such as WeChat and Nail, while the push with lower importance, such as advertisements, will be directly transferred to the storage box in the upper right corner of the notification bar to minimize the disturbance to users and solve users' needs in a "thinking way".

Flyme 6' s single-minded performance is gratifying. For smart phones, the next development is also concentrated in the direction of artificial intelligence. Although major mobile phone manufacturers have made bold moves on AI, they are still in the stage of small-scale experiments. Future efforts include hardware innovation, vertical extension of application services and, more importantly, "human brain thinking".

Operation design in line with human usage habits: simpler and more efficient

In the process of using mobile phones, the operating experience is also a major standard that the author requires for mobile phones. People are used to sliding with one hand when operating, like to feel "feedback" when pressing the home button, and are used to sliding from left to right instead of from top to bottom. These are all design elements that need to be considered when setting up the system operation of smart phones. The operation design that conforms to human habits will be simpler and more efficient, which is another highlight that the author found when he experienced Flyme 6.

Flyme 6 has re-created the multi-tasking interface, from the original vertical stacked page to the horizontal stacked page, and supports two outgoing calls: sliding out from the lower edge and sliding out from the right edge, which can meet the operating habits of different users. Especially when you slide down in the single-task interface, you will have control options such as locking, blurring and split screen. Among them, the fuzzy option is very commendable. For personal sensitive applications, such as SMS, sticky notes, address book and Alipay, you can choose to blur the information on the task page. Some financial applications Flyme 6 will automatically add fuzziness according to their privacy attributes, and personal privacy is fully protected.

Another operation to protect personal privacy is the newly added parallel space in Flyme 6. Guest mode and privacy mode seem to open a "new world" different from the main mode, but their differences do not affect it. Fingerprints and passwords have become the "passports" of their respective worlds, subtly resolving some embarrassment of borrowing mobile phone scenes.

Compared with other ROM practices, the design of parallel space is obviously more elegant, giving users a variety of privacy protection options. During the experience, we also found that the guest mode is equivalent to opening a new system space, so there will be some delay in starting, and there is still room for optimization in the future.

In addition to privacy, we also pay attention to the security of mobile phones. The safety improvement of Flyme 6 should not be underestimated. It can automatically identify the financial payment application system, immediately start security protection, and take measures such as controlling the authority of other applications and prohibiting third-party applications from reading SMS verification code. The same is true for web pages, which intelligently identify the situation of the website and make a certain logo at the top.

As a system with strong logical thinking ability, Flyme 6 has many small functions full of "wisdom" worth sharing, such as children's mode, intelligent input method, time machine and so on.

Summary: Human thinking ability is very powerful. When the smart phone system begins to solve problems for users with human brain thinking, it is the beginning of the era of real intelligence. It is not without reason that Flyme can occupy the leading position in the domestic smart phone system. Judging from the first Meizu mobile phone MX3 I came into contact with, this mobile phone was still a Flyme 3 system at that time, and its simple, beautiful and elegant design brought people a very comfortable feeling from the human eye. However, at that time, Flyme 3 was still weak in function (for example, there was no function such as searching for contacts quickly). ), and some functions are hidden too deeply, and the learning cost is high for users, just like a beautiful little bull, which takes a while to control.

Since the later Flyme 4, it is gradually believed that the Flyme system has changed greatly in functionality and convenience of operation. Up to now, the interesting and practical function Flyme 6 has everything.

Whether it is a brand-new UI design or the addition of new functions, Flyme 6 is striving to create a "humanized" system that conforms to the aesthetics of the human eye, the thinking logic of the human brain and the operating habits of the human hand. Speaking of which, I can't help but think of Xiaomi's reward for collecting millions of wallpaper a few years ago. At that time, Flyme was embarrassed about the built-in wallpaper in the system, which embarrassed millions of wallpapers. The key to winning is that Flyme regards simplicity as the basic aesthetic, but the visual comfort brought by simplicity is more popular.

On the whole, Flyme did give the author a lot of surprises. In the field of intelligence, deep learning of mobile phone system helps smart phones to understand user behavior and improve user experience. We may even see a "Renaissance" in which people's value is re-valued, instead of blindly pursuing the coolness of technology. In the future, it will be a new trend to design mobile phone system with logical thinking of human brain. Smart phones are truly smart only if they really think what users think.
