The holiday time always goes by so fast. In a few days, all walks of life will start work. Lao Wang also intends to make a summary of Huawei Hongmeng's 2021, so that he can better look forward to Hongmeng in 2022~
Since it is a summary, it is inevitable that there will be too much talk, so I will put the benefits directly to the front.
Huawei Hongmeng's annual summary should blow up the circle of friends!
Back to the topic, when Huawei Hongmeng first appeared in front of the public in 2019, not many people really took it seriously.
After all, there were only three companies with mature operating systems in the world before: Apple, Microsoft, and Google.
However, just in 2021, the Hongmeng system will continue to iterate, the number of users will continue to grow, and partners will continue to increase.
After precipitation, Hongmeng Ecology has been initially built, and Hongmeng Ecology has gradually become the cornerstone for the IoT industry to realize the transformation from the Internet of Everything to the Intelligent Connection of Everything.
This is a dazzling report card for a freshman system.
This makes people have to start thinking about what exactly Hongmeng has done in 2021?
Based on this, Leifeng.com has sorted out the important milestones of Hongmeng 2021, trying to outline the development dynamic map of Hongmeng.
Hongmeng 2.0 was born
On June 2, 2021, the domestic operating system Hongmeng 2.0 was officially released.
The research and development of Hongmeng took 10 years, and more than 4,000 R&D personnel participated. It is oriented towards the full-scene distributed experience in the era of the Internet of Everything. It is built based on the micro-kernel and interconnected through virtual terminals to organically link people, equipment, and scenes to form interconnection and resource sharing.
At the press conference, Huawei introduced that the application of HarmonyOS distributed technology can integrate the capabilities of various terminal products in life scenarios, so as to achieve rapid connection, mutual assistance, and resource sharing between different terminal devices, and match suitable devices. , providing a smooth full-scene experience.
For example, in the Hongmeng Ecosystem, using a mobile phone to connect to a monitor, the mobile phone becomes a server, and you can take your mobile phone to work anywhere with a monitor anytime, anywhere without using a laptop.
Interoperability between tablet computers and personal computers is realized, and software that cannot be installed on the tablet computer can directly call the software on the computer; even in the future, Hongmeng is expected to make it possible to "control a car with a smart watch".
Some people in the industry have questioned Hongmeng's "shell" Android, because Hongmeng 2.0 currently uses part of the AOSP open source code.
In this regard, Huawei has responded that not all Android code is developed by Google, and most of the code comes from the open source community. Hongmeng will also absorb the excellent technologies and codes of the community, and use the open source code of AOSP to judge that Hongmeng has changed its skin from Android, indicating that such complainers do not have a very accurate understanding of what open source is.
"There is no company in the world that writes a large-scale software, and writes every line by itself." The proportion of Android using open source code exceeds 80%.
In fact, the Hongmeng operating system is not specially developed for mobile terminals. In addition to being compatible with mobile Android applications and improving the user experience of existing Android applications, the more important significance of Hongmeng is to cover the entire scene of the Internet of Everything, and can easily be used on mobile phones, smart watches, smart glasses, tablets, computers, cars, large It can switch freely between different screens such as smart TVs, and meet the application requirements of multi-screen integration.
It can be seen that Hongmeng is not a substitute for the Android system, but an evolutionary upgrade for the Internet of Everything.
donation code
On June 6, the Open Atomic Open Source Foundation stated that it had accepted the code related to the basic capabilities of the smart terminal operating system donated by Huawei in September 2020, and then open sourced it to become a pioneer of software open source in China .
The Open Atom Open Source Foundation named the open source project OpenAtom OpenHarmony (OpenHarmony). In addition, the fund has released the OpenHarmony 2.0 Canary version on the code hosting platform Gitee.
This means: Huawei has donated all of the core infrastructure of Hongmeng to the Open Atom Foundation. All manufacturers can equally obtain codes from the Open Atomic Foundation, ecological enterprises can make products according to their own business demands, and enterprises can join Hongmeng Ecology as a business option.
In addition, Huawei will continue to participate in the co-construction of the OpenHarmony open source project. Organizations and individuals who are interested and in need around the world can participate. So far, there have been 245 contributors, and will continue to increase support for global developers.
These practices have made Hongmeng one of the pioneering examples in the field of software open source in China, which will help promote my country’s overall autonomy and control of software technology.
It has to be mentioned that the ecological layout is still the primary problem facing Hongmeng.
Relevant data shows that there are currently about 20 million developers on Android, more than 24 million developers on IOS, and more than one million developers on Hongmeng.
As Wang Chenglu, President of Huawei's Consumer BG Software Department pointed out, only based on an open approach can Hongmeng succeed.
Launched Hongkuang
The first shot of industrialized commercialization was launched, and "Mining Hong" was launched.
On September 14, Huawei announced the launch of the Mining Hongmeng operating system. This is also the first time that Hongmeng OS will expand to the B-end after the C-end and enter the industrial field for commercial use.
The Mine Hung system launched this time is an IoT operating system based on the coal mining environment jointly built by Huawei's coal mine army and the National Energy Group.
This system breaks the problems that the various mining equipment, environmental monitoring equipment, and operation management equipment used in the original coal mines cannot work together, and the data cannot communicate with each other. All things are interconnected, and technology is used to ensure mining efficiency and safety, and realize intelligent and digital transformation.
When it comes to why Hongmeng aims at the mining industry, for a long time, coal, as an important part of my country's national economy, has always been the "ballast stone" for the safe and stable supply of energy, and the "stabilizer" that supports the adjustment and transformation of the energy structure.
In recent years, with the continuous development of eliminating outdated production capacity and promoting the optimization of production structure, substantial progress has been made in the transformation and upgrading of the coal industry. Especially in today's deep integration of the new generation of information technology and the coal industry, accelerating the intelligent construction of the coal industry has become the only way and an inevitable choice to achieve high-quality development.
In response to the needs of intelligent innovation and development in the coal mining industry, Huawei Coal Mining Corps is also committed to "reconstructing mine intelligence and creating new coal value". Through unified standards and a unified structure, the industry data, capabilities, knowledge, talents and platforms can be realized. sharing; and under the premise of "safety", truly achieve efficient and intensive intelligent development of coal mines.
This is a (Huawei) milestone event. What happened in the past ten years in the mobile Internet will happen again in the industrial Internet in the future. The application potential of Hongmeng in the mining industry has also far exceeded expectations. Hongmeng will become the base of the next generation of industrial Internet and solve the last mile problem of mines.
At present, Kuanghong operating system has been successfully applied to 20 kinds of equipment and 398 application units in 4 mines in Shendong and 6 scenarios.
He Haitao, deputy general manager of Guoneng Shendong Coal Group, also connected the underground fully mechanized mining face and the real-time working picture of the robot through a large screen at the conference site, showing the work and interaction of the equipment equipped with the Minehong operating system in the mine.
Through Minehong's "soft bus technology", the equipment "changes from a screen to a screen, and the fixed button operation changes to the mobile operation of the mobile phone", and the "near-field passing" fast data collection and interconnection of the inspection robot and the sensor are realized.
In the future, Kuanghong operating system will gradually expand its application to the pan-mining field in combination with the practice in the coal mining field.
The number of Hongmeng devices exceeded 150 million
Hongmeng 3.0 preview version officially released, the number of users exceeded 150 million
On October 22, Huawei officially announced that the number of Hongmeng devices exceeded 150 million.
Such a huge number of Hongmeng devices includes not only mobile phones, but also watches, tablets, speakers, smart screens and other devices.
At the same time, Huawei also officially released the preview version of Hongmeng 3.0.
Hongmeng 3.0 preview version and Hongmeng 2.0 have both commonalities and characteristics.
The Hongmeng 3.0 preview version has the following features:
Feature 1 : Heterogeneous networking technology. Heterogeneous networking is simply understood as the interconnection of everything + hardware mutual assistance. Hongmeng 3.0 can combine your mobile phone, watch, notebook, tablet, printer, etc. into a hyperterminal, and all the above operations can be completed with just one touch.
Feature 2: Heterogeneous computing. The Hongmeng system can not only project your mobile phone screen to the computer, but also mobilize the computing power of the notebook to render mobile games to achieve efficient use of equipment. This is good news for the majority of gamers. When the Huawei Hongmeng system is completed, the society will eventually move towards an intelligent society where everything is connected.
Hongmeng released the preview version of Hongmeng 3.0, which can be described as an important milestone event.
Hongmeng 1.0 is just a new mobile operating system concept, and it remains in the PPT stage; Hongmeng 2.0 officially implements operating system push, and partially solves the cross-device flow between different terminals and different devices; Hongmeng 3.0 preview version is to further Contribute to the Internet of Everything.
From the above changes, we can clearly see the growth process of Huawei Hongmeng: Huawei starts from the underlying basic technologies such as distributed technology, establishes a software and hardware system for software development, and then faces manufacturers and manufacturers from the south and north respectively. Developers expand ecologically and use their own hard-core technologies to pave the way for ecological construction.
Today, Hongmeng Ecology has grown into a big tree with a solid foundation, which urgently needs to expand its branches in more directions.
Huawei Hongmeng equipment exceeds 220 million
On December 23, Huawei held a winter flagship new product launch conference in Shenzhen, announcing that the number of Huawei devices equipped with the Hongmeng operating system exceeded 220 million.
After careful observation, it is not difficult to find that the number of users has grown rapidly since the launch of the Hongmeng system.
On June 9, Hongmeng exceeded 10 million a week after its release, and 30 million users upgraded in a month; on July 29, the Huawei P50 series was released, and Hongmeng upgraded users exceeded 40 million, with 8 users upgrading every second. Hongmeng; on August 7, Hongmeng ran out of acceleration - the number of Hongmeng upgrades exceeded expectations, exceeding 50 million; on September 13th, at the Huawei Smart Office conference, Hongmeng upgrades exceeded 100 million, and Hongmeng became the world's fastest mobile phone with over 100 million users Operating system; On September 23, the nova9 series was released. Officials said that more than 1 million users upgraded Hongmeng every day, and the number of Hongmeng upgraded users exceeded 120 million; on October 22, Huawei announced at the developer conference that the number of users exceeded 150 million; December 23 On the same day, Huawei announced at the winter flagship new product launch that the number of users exceeded 220 million.
It can be seen from the above data that the number of Hongmeng users once reached a peak record of increasing 10 million per week. After several months, the number of users of the Hongmeng system has exceeded 100 million, 150 million, and 220 million successively, achieving Huawei's goal of reaching 200 million users by the end of 2020 ahead of schedule.
For Huawei, winning HarmonyOS users is a race against time. To this day, in the absence of external sanctions, the number of active devices of Huawei mobile phones in China is still in the forefront. This is the basic disk of HarmonyOS.
It is worth mentioning that at the winter flagship conference, Huawei also released the first Hongmeng Auto M5.
Huawei Consumer BG Yu Chengdong introduced product highlights and reiterated Huawei's strategy of "not building cars": "Huawei focuses on the smart life strategy of all scenarios, empowering the automotive industry with more than 30 years of ICT technology and smart travel experience, and bringing the digital world into the Every car helps car companies build and sell good cars.”
In the software market, "16% market share is a life and death line for the operating system", which has become a consensus.
In other words, the current number of devices in Hongmeng cannot directly explain the problem. It must achieve a market share of at least 16% in order to develop steadily.
Looking at the development of Hongmeng, from scratch, the number of users has grown rapidly. According to this development speed, the possibility of Hongmeng operating system breaking through the 16% "life and death line" is still optimistic.
What Hongmeng wants to do is "Internet of Everything", creating a world where super virtual terminals are interconnected, organically linking people, devices, and scenes. In the future, a mobile phone can be used to operate various devices, which is not currently available in Apple or Android. did it.
If Hongmeng succeeds, it will be an Internet technology innovation that subverts the world. The future is promising.
