SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Huawei today announced new developments to Huawei Mobile Services ecosystem at

the HUAWEI Mate 40 Series launch event, launching Petal Search, Petal Maps, and

HUAWEI Docs, levelling up global Huawei users' digital experience with other new updates.

Hardware and software integration enhances digital lifestyle experience

Huawei's official search engine app, Petal Search now is available in over 170

countries and regions and supports over 50 languages, letting users

conveniently and instantly find out the information and services they need.

Petal Search offers search capabilities across more than 20 categories, including

apps, news, videos, images, shopping, flights, and local business. It also develops

and integrates various tools, such as weather, calculator, rate exchange and even

paper query to help user easily obtain daily-used information. With the new update,

the search experience is now visually richer. Search results are presented in

information cards, as opposed to simple weblinks, to help users get this wealth of

useful information instantly with just a few clicks.

Leveraging Huawei devices' AI capabilities, Petal Search allows users to search

by taking photos or images through its visual search function. It recognises a

wide range of objects such as people, animals, and landmarks, and will

introduce new capabilities such as plants identification. For instance, user

can simply take a photo of a dish and Petal Search will provide the recipe. A

voice search feature is also integrated in the app, supporting English,

Spanish, French, Arabic and more. These features help Petal Search meet the

needs of users accustomed to an efficient and mobile-centric lifestyle.

In addition, with the cooperation with global and local partners, Petal Search

is vigorously developing local life search services, to provide users a rich

location-based and scenario-based search experience. When user look up for

local life content, Petal Search provides users with high-quality and most

popular localized information, such as personalized recommendations or nearby

foods, worth visiting local attractions, and shopping discounts.

Petal Maps, meanwhile, is Huawei's quality and convenient mapping and

navigational tool, offering positioning services, immersive map displays, place

searches, driving navigation and favorite place lists  to users in over 140

countries and regions. Petal Maps supports map displays in multiple languages,

with voice notifications in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Mandarin. 

Petal Maps is also equipped with cutting-edge functions to give a real-time

publish transit updates in some major cities, helping commuters better plan

their routes and take the worry off travelling. Utilizing pioneering technologies

such as Super GNSS and image recognition algorithms, Petal Maps further

heighten the accuracy and present users the most efficient and least congested routes.

Thanks to HUAWEI Mate 40 Series devices' Gesture Control, drivers are able to

switch between the navigation view and map overview by simply using "air press"

towards the screen with their palms. These smart interactions significantly

enhance the ease of travel, as well as facilitate a safe driving experience.

HUAWEI Docs, available in more than 100 countries and regions, supports

document viewing and editing across over 50 formats including PDF, PPT, and

DOC. With real-time syncing enabled by cloud capabilities, HUAWEI Docs lets

users seamlessly work on the same document on different devices logged into the

same HUAWEI ID, enhancing the smart office experience.
