Open capabilities provide full developer support

HMS Core 4.0 is a collection of tools made for Huawei's partners and app

developers to create unique, new experiences that tap into the full hardware

and software capabilities Huawei devices have on offer. During his keynote,

including Machine Learning Kit, Scan Kit, Map Kit and more.

Machine Learning Kit has the ability to detect and identify the shapes and

features of a user's face based on seven criteria, including facial expressions,

gender, age and clothing. This kit enables developers to easily integrate

beautification features, as well as text and object recognition into their apps.

Scan Kit greatly shortens the development time needed for implementing QR code

and barcode scanning capabilities into apps.

With the Map Kit, developers can easily implement customised maps and add tags,

as well as implement services such real-time global road condition reporting

and extremely accurate route planning in more than 200 countries/regions.

Currently, there are more than 1.3 million developers registered with HMS and

more than 55,000 applications are integrated with HMS Core. More and more

global developers have joined HMS ecosystem and launched their apps to HUAWEI
