Few would have foreseen that, if it weren't for the attention, the normally low-key wami would suddenly come up with a chip to refresh the perception.
Of course, you can also think of it as a post-crash shakeout for the wearable industry, starting with a new look.
The leader Apple Watch, after three generations of evolution and exploration, has entered the category of medical equipment in the fourth generation. Its professionalism and technical content are amazing. The company, which is also a leader in the wearables industry, showed a similar evolutionary path at its first major launch.
On September 17, three years after the launch of its own brand, huami technology launched AMAZFIT smart watches, AMAZFIT rice healthy bracelet 1S, and huangshan no.1, the world's first artificial intelligence chip in wearable technology.

On September 17, three years after the launch of its own brand, huami technology launched AMAZFIT smart watches, AMAZFIT rice healthy bracelet 1S, and huangshan no.1, the world's first artificial intelligence chip in wearable technology.
Advanced RISC-V instruction set architecture
The highlight of wami tech's 2018 annual conference came when the world's first artificial intelligence chip in wearable technology, huangshan no.1, was unveiled. Although huang revealed the idea of chip development in his New Year's day 2017 speech, it was a real surprise when he officially announced the success of chip streaming, which will be available with his own product in the first half of next year. In the current global trade environment, huangshan no. 1 is even more precious.
It is well known that SiFive is the leading provider of core IP for risc-v instruction set architecture. In the first half of this year, huami invested in the SiFive chip, which was developed based on the risc-v instruction set architecture. In addition, the chip integrates the AON (Always On) module controller and the neural network acceleration module.
Compared with other architectures (such as X86, ARM, etc.), risc-v features high performance, low power consumption, small size, easy customization and extension, and is open source, free, very suitable for micro-embedded systems, and is the most suitable processor architecture for the IoT era. Even so, risc-v, developed in 2010 by renowned professors at the university of California, Berkeley, including Krste Asanovic and David Patterson, and an academic leader in computer architecture, is a futuristic architecture, betting that the technology will require more than just insight into cutting-edge technologies.
At this point, it's expected that some people will suddenly realize that huang wang, founder, chairman and CEO of huami technologies, has a background in physics microelectronics at the university of science and technology of China, as well as his status as the earliest advocate of embedded Linux technology in China and a senior expert in embedded systems.
Huangshan no.1 gives us a glimpse of the opportunities for the risc-v semiconductor industry. In emerging areas, ris-v and ARM are in the same starting line, and ris-v, with features such as open source instruction sets, is likely to be able to beat ARM, or at least have a significant market share. The Internet of things market has a large number of market segments and a high demand for power consumption. Therefore, risc-v, which can flexibly modify the instruction set and chip architecture design for different applications, has advantages. In contrast, ARM is often used to make only a standardized design, which is difficult to achieve differentiation.
From the perspective of the domestic semiconductor industry, a young and technologically advantageous instruction set architecture means equal opportunities, and the characteristics of risc-v instruction set architecture determine that it is aimed at a large and emerging market, wearable and Internet of things. Taking Shanghai as an example, Shanghai government has been actively supporting the development of IC. Shanghai economic and information committee recently issued "Shanghai economic informatization committee about to carry out the second batch of 2018 Shanghai software and integrated circuit industry development special funds (integrated circuits and electronic information manufacturing) project declaration notice (hereinafter referred to as the" notice "), based on RISC processor chips - V instruction set architecture project had a clear and specific provisions:
Support the development and industrialization of risc-v instruction set architecture, 32-bit and above processor chips, and the kernel shall have independent intellectual property rights.
Direction 1: oriented to the application fields of Internet of things and industrial control, with excellent performance, power consumption, area and other indicators, priority is given to supporting projects with clear user cooperation agreements. The cumulative sales revenue during the project implementation period shall not be less than 20 million yuan.
Direction 2: oriented to the application field of intelligent terminal, the main frequency shall be no less than 1GHz, and the performance shall be no less than 1.5 DMIPS/MHz. It supports double precision floating point operation, and supports mainstream operating system, multi-technology and cache consistency. The cumulative sales revenue during the project implementation period shall not be less than 10 million yuan.
For huami, the arrival of huangshan no. 1 has given him a new reputation as a product - and technology-driven company.
Huami's chip ambitions, and ubiquitous artificial intelligence
Chip is just the beginning.
The environment's desire for chips tends to ignore other key factors, whether consciously or not.
On huangshan no.1, most people may first be attracted by the new risc-v instruction set architecture based on the CPU core, but often ignore the technical difficulty and value behind "no networking, local direct processing of AI tasks".
Huang wang calls AI local processing "AI forward movement". The development of chip is the breakthrough of Deep Learning. The main method of machine learning is to label data. The more data, the more accurate algorithm training will be.
On the official website, huami technology introduces itself this way:
Huami technologies is a company with rich experience in biometric identification and motion data driven in the field of intelligent wearable technology. It has a large number of biometric and motion databases for users worldwide.
Do the bracelet with millet few years, China, nanotechnology has become one of the world's largest wearable brand, sales in the first half of this year alone has more than 10 million units, the accumulation of biometric database is unusually large, including heart rate data, by means of data classification, sorting and insight, AI ways to predict abnormal heart rate and even heart disease.
This is also why, huang said, the core value of this chip lies in the self-developed AI Engine, Heart ID, ECG Engine, ECG Engine Pro and arrhythmia mias, which carry out real-time monitoring and analysis of Heart rate, ECG, arrhythmia, etc., and even can monitor Heart problems without electrocardiogram in the future.
In addition to its higher-end but slightly more distant chips, huami tech also announced AMAZFIT's healthy hand ring 1S at its September 17 launch. It's not hard to see from the name of the product that it's focused on the health sector. For the first time, the bracelet adopts the PPG sensor developed by huami technology. Its accuracy is improved to 98%, but the power consumption is lower. In addition, artificial intelligence algorithm is integrated to analyze the collected heart rate signal in real time. In combination, AMAZFIT rice healthy hand ring 1S can monitor arrhythmias including Atrial Fibrillation in real-time 24 hours and give early warning. Similar to the onslaught of the Apple Watch Series 4 through FDA filings, wearables finally have a functional point where it can actually hit users directly.
At this time, what we see is not only the wearable brand that develops and produces the mi bracelet and Amazfit smart watch, but also its dedication and devotion to technology, which points to more than a single industry. It is not just because it is riding the wind.
In order to build a good starting point, and the ability to always fly in the wind depends on matching technical strength.
Because technology and research and development is a topic that will never go out of fashion.
