Huawei HarmonySpace Launched: A sub-brand of smart HarmonyOS car cockpit

On December 21, Huawei hosted Smart Car Solution Ecological Conference 2021 and launched the sub-brand of HarmonyOS powered smart car cockpit system – HarmonySpace. Also, the company reveals HarmonyOS application and hardware ecosystem collaboration strategy with the theme “Openness and Inclusiveness, Gathering the Crowd and Going Far”.

It also proposes a development strategy of “hardware modularization, interface standardization, and system platformization” to build an open and win-win HarmonyOS smart cockpit ecosystem with ecological partners.

Based on the vision of integrating cockpits into the ubiquitous smart world, Huawei has created a cockpit sub-brand that stands for Internet of Everything – HarmonySpace. Let the cockpit be not just a cockpit, but a mobile travel space that connects everything is constantly on the move and is intelligent.

“We have given this sub-brand a special name ‘Space’. S comes from Suraksha, which means comfort and safety. P comes from Personalization, which means personalization and exclusivity. We hope it is truly multi-faceted is and can be a space. Each member of the team brings the most unique and intelligent experience.

A comes from all scenarios, which means full view. We have given it the ability to break the boundaries of space so that different operating systems and Smart devices from different scenes can be connected to create a human feel. The perfect integration of the three comes from the “car, car, and home” scenario.

C – Connect, which means that users can easily enjoy the intelligent travel experience of the Internet of Everything Can enjoy. E comes from Emotion, which means Emotion.

We believe to have a really smart cockpit. Emotions must be there. Yes, I can understand what you need already and what do you think about it, can think in it.” Huawei explained, “The space represents all the features we think are really I am a smart thing. The mind should be in the cockpit.

“Based on HarmonySpace, we have focused on manufacturing a range of products. High computing power car modules, HarmonyOS car operating systems, immersive Huawei sound audio systems, and display devices such as car smart screens and AR-HUDs.

This space further is born “we will work with our software and hardware partners to incubate a richer and more intelligent cockpit experience. We will create a highly intelligent and interconnected Hongmeng space for users.”

According to the information, around the HarmonyOS vehicle operating system, Huawei uses the following three methods to build a smart cockpit application ecosystem of ‘rich applications, diverse experiences, and frequently used new frequently’.

First, for high-frequency applications in the car domain, Huawei and its partners have made deep optimizations based on HarmonyOS car domain features and capabilities to create HarmonyOS premium applications.

Secondly, based on Huawei’s 1+8 full-view ecological capabilities, mobile phones, tablets, and smart large-screen applications can be seamlessly inherited on the car.

For long-tail applications that are frequently used, the HarmonyOS vehicle operating system also provides mobile phone screen projection capabilities to meet the diverse experience needs of users.

To help application partners rapidly develop applications on HarmonyOS, Huawei has developed nine types of vehicle enhancement capabilities and opened more than 14,500 HarmonyOS basic and vehicle domain incremental feature APIs.

At the same time, it provides comprehensive development tools and technical support, reduces the difficulty of software application integration and development, and brings the rich life experience of users and vehicles to the end-users.

With the rich API capabilities provided by the HarmonyOS Smart Cockpit, the Himalaya App has created a diverse in-vehicle experience. With the blessing of the Seamless Circulation Kit, the public version of the Himalaya app has realized HarmonyOS multi-terminal device content synchronization and non-sense switching.

The intelligent and diverse experience of the cockpit is inseparable from the support of peripheral hardware. For this reason, Huawei has discussed requirements with several car-domain hardware peripheral partners and application partners such as seats, holographic screens, and car sky screens combined testing and mounting the cockpit together.

New hardware technology on the car. As of 2021, over 50 cockpit hardware partners have joined the HarmonyOS in-vehicle hardware ecosystem to jointly develop features, services, and innovative experiences that meet the needs of users.
