For the first part, Jimmy Kang from HUAWEI briefly described the overall HMS ecosystem and the current development of the AppGallery. The HMS ecosystem aims to build an All-scenario intelligent ecosystem driven by mutually-reinforcing software and hardware by connecting the mobile application ecosystem and hardware ecosystem.
Since 2019, more than 90,000 mobile applications have chosen to integrate HMS Core. The integrated mobile applications have increased by 123% in one year. This makes the AppGallery one of the world's top three application markets, with an average monthly number of 5 million users.
The HMS Core capability promotion focuses on AI and positioning. Li Mingnan, from HUAWEI product department, supports the ecosystem development, and provides remote lectures. The HMS Core application case "Baimiao" demonstrates that ML Kit can help visually impaired persons in terms of text, image, and speech recognition. In addition, the integration case of “SG Busleh” in Singapore demonstrates how AI brings convenience to public life.
Location Kit is a leading position in the industry with its high precision, low power consumption, and indoor and outdoor supporting. Applications integrated with Location Kit rely on the super GNSS technology and pseudo-range 3D model and shadow matching (SDM). This feature provides high-precision positioning capabilities, enabling applications to accurately identify roadsides where users are located. Even in urban canyons, this feature is easy to ride. This function has been tested in 23 cities around the world, including Singapore, Bangkok, Malaysia, Beijing, and Dubai.
In Singapore, ComfortDelGro, a local travel industry integration case, is integrated with the Map Kit and Location Kit of HMS Core. The average weekly download volume increases by 5 times and the industry competitiveness increases by 14%, demonstrating the huge potential of HMS Core.
The lab visit was held in Singapore's DigiX Lab. The lab was divided into 18 screens on mobile phones, TVs, and tablets. Melissa and DTSE of the Asia Pacific Cloud Service Operation Dept based on the topics that developers are concerned about, presented core functions of HMS Core, demos and related solutions focusing on AI, AR, Game Service, Location Site, and Map Kit, and content related to AppGallery Operation & Marketing Support, , attracting great interest from participants.
As the last Huawei Developer Day in Singapore in 2020, more than 40% guests wanted to know more about HMS, and more than 35% expressed interest in monetization.
In Asia and the Pacific region, over 20 guild events were held in 2020 to promote long-tail developers, effectively enriching and improving the HMS ecosystem. In 2021, we will continue to focus on topics that developers are concerned about, fully leverage new capabilities and technical advantages of HMS Core, and deepen the HMS ecosystem construction to improve user experience.
