What is HMS?
Huawei HMS is the abbreviation of Huawei Mobile Service, which means Huawei Mobile Service in Chinese.
In simple terms, HMS is used to provide basic services for mobile phones, such as cloud space, application market, payment wallet, etc. Corresponding to HMS is Google's GMS, which is called Google Mobile Service.
First of all, we need to know that domestic users will hardly use GMS, but overseas GMS is very important. Without GMS support, it will be very difficult. Without GMS authorization, it means that the phone cannot be pre-installed with Google applications, such as Google Search, Google Chrome, Youtube, Maps and other services and applications can not be used. This will seriously affect sales in overseas markets.
For example, without GMS, domestic users cannot use software such as Baidu, WeChat, Weibo, and Alipay.
Therefore, it is obviously very important to have your own ecology. Therefore, the launch of HMS is of great significance to Huawei mobile phones.
9In September 2019, when Huawei released the new flagship mobile phone Mate30 series in Munich, Germany, it was no longer possible to use Google's GMS service. At that time, Yu Chengdong already stated that Huawei would provide its own mobile service HMS.
But HMS still has a long way to go to fully replace GMS. This is the same as the Hongmeng system, and the ecology needs to be created in the future, so the "HMS" ecology is the focus.
Release the HMS ecosystem globally
Huawei opens 14 HMS Core capabilities, 51 services, and 885 APIs. It provides developers with full scenario capabilities. Developers only need to integrate the HMS SDK to use Huawei ’s multiple open capabilities, allowing developers to focus on Innovation, these capabilities and services will help developer applications get more users and higher activity.
A series of new functions provided by HMS Core for global developers. Among them, Huawei Map Services provides developers with 25 types of API interfaces in 6 categories, covering more than 150 countries and regions around the world, supporting more than 40 languages, helping global developers to achieve Personalized map presentation and interaction; unified code scanning service can support multiple codes such as identification payment code, account login code, shared bicycle code, order code, express code, and billing code, providing one-step direct access to applications, fast applications, fast services Wait.
Not only that, HMS 'original functions also provide developers with service support, from development, growth to profitability, enabling them in all directions. With one-time access via Huawei account, users can log in from multiple terminals such as mobile phones, tablets, PCs, watches, large screens, and car machines, and cover more than 170 countries and regions around the world. It can be pushed according to different scenarios, and supports multiple forms such as text, corner mark, ringtone, and big picture. The reach rate is 99%.
It can be said that the Huawei Developer Conference 2019 is a milestone for the development of HMS.
HMS goes overseas for the first time
Although Huawei has talked about HMS service architecture at the developer conference last year, today is the first time that they have announced that HMS will go overseas.
Back to today ’s press conference, as early as January this year, Huawei released HMS Core 4.0, hoping to allow more developers around the world to join the construction of the HMS ecosystem. Yu Chengdong once said that in 2020, Huawei will fully build the HMS ecosystem and form a new system of "self-developed chips + Hongmeng OS".
At this conference, Yu Chengdong mentioned again that currently there are more than 400 million monthly active users in Huawei's application market. More and more developers can use the developer toolkit in HMS Core 4.0 to allow their applications to take advantage of Huawei's various open capabilities, including file transfer, geolocation, security detection, AI, machine learning And data security.
Yu Chengdong also announced today the launch of a $ 1 billion "Yao Xing" program to attract and call on global developers to develop HMS core apps. As Huawei cooperates with more countries and regions, HMS will undoubtedly get greater development.
