Smartphone usage <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/worklife\/article\/20200513-how-to-take-a-digital-detox-during-the-covid-19-pandemic\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">skyrocketed during the pandemic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, proving it to be both a necessity and comfort for many at this time. But could our fascination with smartphones hold the key to a connected future beyond our 3-inch screens?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The idea of a connected future is nothing new. Beyond fringe sci-fi predictions of decades past, we live in a world where connected devices have entered the mainstream consciousness. Despite our smartphone connections to voice assistants and fitness wearables, something is missing.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The problem is that our devices do not work well together. Rival brands may host apps on different platforms, but cohesive connections between their connected devices are limited.\u00a0 The reality is consumers are not beholden to one brand or type of device. Unless you dedicate yourself to one brand and buy into their walled garden of devices, your connected life is very disconnected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We spoke with Andrew Garrihy, Huawei\u2019s Global Chief Brand Officer, about his TNW2020 keynote on how Huawei\u2019s Seamless AI Life strategy is working to change this very problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_promise_of_connected_living_has_fallen_short\"><\/span>\n<b>The promise of connected living has fallen short<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The promise of connected living has fallen short for several reasons, and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> is not to blame. Huawei\u2019s mission is to break the mold of the brand-specific connected ecosystems we\u2019ve been sold. The company\u2019s Global Chief Brand Officer, Andrew Garrihy, says brands have lacked the will to bridge connected devices together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cCompanies haven\u2019t been open and collaborative enough with the systems and consumers probably haven\u2019t been demanding enough. But I think both of those things are changing,\u201d Garrihy told TNW.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frictionless connectivity is a necessity for connected living. Cumbersome and awkward configurations make connected living more of a hazard than help, but Huawei is convinced better awaits because they\u2019re building it through their Seamless AI Life Strategy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Huawei aims to create ubiquitous connections between different devices, irrespective of the manufacturer. With their HiLink system, users can connect to printers, speakers, kettles, treadmills, or any other kind of household electrical item. Huawei has partnered with 800 companies to bring these integrations to life. Want to lock your Samsonite suitcase? Keys are a thing of the past. Tap your phone on your Samsonite smart lock.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_connected_future\"><\/span><b>A connected future<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Huawei\u2019s vision of a connected future, the smartphone functions as a super-connector of connected devices. The technology exists today but lacks seamless integration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take, for instance, family video calls, which have become a lockdown staple. In his TNW2020 keynote, Garrihy spoke about Huawei\u2019s connected version of events, in which the family no longer has to crowd behind the laptop hoping to appear in the call. Instead, the lounge will also function as a family video conferencing room thanks to connections with smart speakers and a smart TV. Every family member will show on the call because Huawei\u2019s 360-degree camera will pivot to the speaker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cohesively connected tech is the aim, which is why the smartphone isn\u2019t the sole consideration for Huawei. The company knows the value of a good smartphone, but mobile devices are not the only option for connecting with the world around us.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our technology should fit around our lives, not the other way around. We cannot escape the ubiquity of smartphones, so Huawei wants to leverage them to build innovative solutions with other technologies. Beyond our smartphones, a truly connected world lays at our fingertips.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In his keynote, Garrihy shares his personal experiences which highlighted the radical possibilities of Huawei\u2019s Seamless AI Life strategy. He recounted a pre-lockdown <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> where he was racing to catch his flight. Upon his return weeks later, he had forgotten where he parked his car at the airport. Instead of spending forty-five minutes searching for his vehicle, Huawei\u2019s HiCar system could have prompted his car to send a picture of its location. Convenience and context are king in Huawei\u2019s Seamless AI Life Strategy, but this is just the beginning. In the future, cars fitted with the HiCar system could do much more.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere\u2019s no reason why it couldn\u2019t remind me as soon as I get off the plane and pay for my parking,\u201d says Garrihy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_seamless_remote_workspace\"><\/span><b>A seamless remote workspace<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve already experienced massive changes in the workspace this year, and Huawei\u2019s Seamless AI Life wants to make it better. Remote work has blurred the boundaries between work and home life. Connected living can help draw those distinctions by increasing personal productivity. With collaborative platforms like Huawei Share, users can transfer files wirelessly between devices with a single tap of their phones.\u00a0 Huawei speakers and televisions can automatically transfer audio and video calls from the phone, resulting in an engaging work experience that propels productivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remote learning is also getting a connected living makeover, beyond the typical laptop or smartphone setup. Huawei\u2019s multiscreen collaboration equips students with the ability to watch lectures on the TV while taking notes with a tablet, instead of cramming both activities on a laptop or smartphone device. These technologies could prove especially useful for school-aged children who are learning from home and need minimal distraction to engage with their lessons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Privacy_concerns\"><\/span><b>Privacy concerns<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A connected world sounds exciting, but these innovations present new privacy and security vulnerabilities. As Garrihy notes, the tide has turned now that more consumers are reckoning with the cost of privacy.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019ve gone through a period where giving all our data away, we become the products. Now we\u2019re starting to see a global awakening of, \u2018Am I happy to be the product anymore?\u2019 and we\u2019re seeing people willing to pay a premium,\u201d he tells TNW.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Huawei\u2019s privacy measures are three-fold. For apps like TomTom Navigation, users can pay to use the app instead of granting data for advertising purposes. Huawei\u2019s laptops also include an opt-in camera, and their devices employ facial recognition to permit users to view their messages.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond these measures, the connected security ecosystem employs Huawei\u2019s Harmony OS microkernel trusted execution environment, which splinters the various device logins as a safety measure. This limits the severity of a possible hack and ensures the security of the connected ecosystem is not compromised. Consumer privacy is and will continue to be a hot-button topic so Huawei\u2019s multifaceted approach puts the user in control of their privacy, however they see fit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking on the misconceptions about connected living, Garrihy agrees that its future is in the hands of the consumer. \u201cThe reality is you will still firmly be in charge,\u201d Garrihy tells TNW.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf you look at the nirvana that\u2019s been painted, we breeze through this world effortlessly, where the machine does everything. I don\u2019t think that\u2019s going to be the reality for a long time, but I think between integrating our hardware and software and employing AI, it will start to predict but we\u2019ll still be firmly in charge of what happens.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Huaweis_Seamless_AI_Life_More_time_for_the_things_you_love\"><\/span><b>Huawei\u2019s Seamless AI Life: More time for the things you love<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Huawei\u2019s Seamless AI Life is all about making better connections with technology and offers a glimpse into the future. When we are no longer distracted with piecing together fragmented technologies or trying to live with incompatible devices, we are free to focus on what\u2019s most important. For Garrihy, our new technologies afford us a connection that\u2019s as old as time \u2013 personal growth: \u201cI\u2019ve got more time for the things I enjoy and the things I\u2019m interested in.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we transition to a connected present, our emerging technologies offer us the opportunity to thrive in our daily activities. So, what will it take for connected living to become an everyday occurrence \u2013 simply living?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFor everyone that\u2019s involved in technology, we truly want to deliver to the world the benefits of technology,\u201d Garrihy states. \u201cWe all have to be open to greater collaboration and greater openness, then seamless connectivity will be a reality, and I can\u2019t wait for that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-paidNotice post-paidNotice--below\">\n        <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/huawei.com\"><\/p>\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-paidNotice-image\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2020\/10\/1500px_Huawei_logo.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"post-paidNotice-text\">This article is brought to you by <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"ga('primary.send', 'event', 'Article', 'Sponsored Post', 'Link');\" href=\"http:\/\/huawei.com\">Huawei<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more like this article, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Technology category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/tech\/2020\/10\/06\/moving-past-mobile-why-innovation-must-happen-beyond-smartphones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Moving past mobile \u2014 why innovation must happen beyond smartphones&#8221; TV screen, grocery store, or virtual party zone: these days, our smartphones are whatever we want them to be.
