Huawei on January 29 disclosed a patent for a "watch" design similar to the Huawei TalkBand B6, according to data provider Qichacha.

The rendering in the patent shows that the watch body is curved and the dial uses a curved flexible screen.

The bottom of the watch has a sensor assembly with a small bump, but no charging electrode.

The front of the watch is narrow, with a button on the right side and two symmetrical buttons on the bottom, left and right.

The design is similar to that of the Huawei B6, with a narrower screen than the Huawei WATCH FIT.

The Huawei B6 has a detachable design that turns it into a Bluetooth earphone when you take it off, and the symmetrical mechanical button below the shell can be used to remove the band itself.

There is no charging electrode on the bottom of the Huawei B6 as it uses the built-in Type-C connector for charging.

The patent, filed on May 22, describes "this product is primarily used for timing, pedometry, measurement of physical data, and communication."

Huawei says the TalkBand B6 can measure heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep status, and has heart health management to detect arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation, and premature beat screening.

The Huawei TalkBand B6 was released on July 30, 2020, and priced at RMB 949 ($147).

Huawei disclosed on February 5 a patent for the invention of "silicon-carbon composite material, its preparation method and lithium-ion battery," which it says can extend the service life of the battery.

The patent, filed on July 31, 2019, relates to a silicon-carbon composite material, including a core and a carbon layer encapsulated on the surface of the core.

Among them, the core includes a graphite skeleton, amorphous carbon-filled in the graphite skeleton structure, and silicon material uniformly distributed in the amorphous carbon.

The silicon-carbon composite has only a pore structure with a pore size less than or equal to 50 nm inside, and there is no pore structure with a pore size greater than 50 nm.

The small pore size inside the silicon-carbon composite can effectively reduce the contact area between the silicon material and the electrolyte, reduce the occurrence of side reactions, and prolong the service life of the battery.

The silicon material is uniformly dispersed around the graphite skeleton without agglomeration, which enables the graphite skeleton to effectively mitigate the volume expansion and contraction of the silicon material and improve the structural stability and energy density of the composite material.


Embodiments of the invention also provide the preparation method of the silicon-carbon composite material and the lithium-ion battery comprising the silicon-carbon composite material.

Huawei's total revenue in 2020 was $136.7 billion, up 11.2 percent, Yicai.com reported, adding that the Chinese technology giant's profit rose 10.4 percent to $9.9 billion last year.

"Huawei's global financial settlement system is real-time, and the above figures have not been approved by an accounting firm," the report said, citing people close to Huawei.

Huawei has two annual disclosure points for its financial data, one is an unapproved internal real-time tally at the beginning of January, which facilitates statistics on the performance of each division. The other is approved and then disclosed as required for listed companies, even though it is unlisted, according to the report.

In addition, Huawei last week set a stock dividend for 2020 of RMB 1.86 ($0.29) per share, compared with RMB 2.11 for 2019, according to Jiemian.com.

Huawei has an all-employee stock ownership system, with participants being company employees only. With 194,000 employees, Huawei's pay per employee is close to RMB 700,000.

And the total number of Huawei shares is now over 20 billion, which means that the amount of Huawei's dividend exceeds RMB 40 billion.


Huawei has deployed 5G demonstration applications in more than 20 industries and signed more than 1,000 5G industry application contracts, Huawei Managing Director and President of Branding BG said at MWCS 2021 on February 8, adding that 5G to B will enter the first year of commercial scale in 2021.

Huawei discloses new EV-related patent

Chinese technology giant Huawei disclosed a patent for "a powertrain and electric vehicle" on February 12, according to data provider Qichacha.

cnevpost.com

Chinese technology giant Huawei disclosed a patent for "a powertrain and electric vehicle" on February 12, according to data provider Qichacha.

The patent enables the use of the heat exchanger's external cooling surface to improve the efficiency of the heat exchanger and save space by improving the heat dissipation of the motor controller while making it more compact.

Huawei's cell phone business suffered a setback in 2020 and subsequently set its sights more on the automotive sector. But Huawei's rotating chairman, Xu Zhijun, said in April 2019 that the company does not build cars, but will help car companies build better cars.

In November 2020, Huawei merged its enterprise-oriented automotive business with its consumer-oriented businesses such as cell phones, a document back then showed.

Instead of building whole cars, Huawei will help car companies build cars through Information and Communications Technology and become a provider of incremental components for smart connected cars, the document said.

In April last year, Huawei entered the in-car system space with the release of its HiCar system.


The system allows users to map cell phone content directly onto the car's screen, using cell phone computing power to provide users with an excellent in-car connected experience when the car's computing power has not yet reached a perfect level.

In addition, the system is also able to achieve navigation, in-car voice control, car phone key, and many other functions.

At the end of last year, Richard Yu, then president of Huawei's consumer business, said that Huawei has reached cooperation with more than 20 manufacturers on the HiCar system.

Huawei also released an in-car smart screen at the end of last year priced at RMB 1,699 ($263), allowing car owners with older models to enjoy the convenience of intelligence.

Huawei's rotating chairman says 2020 operations largely meet expectations - CnTechPost

The official 2020 financial report will be released on March 31.

cntechpost.com

Chinese tech giant Huawei said its 2020 operations are solid and largely meet expectations.

Huawei's rotating chairman Hu Houkun said at the MWC conference in Shanghai today that Huawei's revenue and profit grew slightly in 2020. The official 2020 financial report will be released on March 31, he added.

Huawei currently has more than 300 communication networks operating stably in 170 countries, Hu said.

Hu also showed several of Huawei's innovative technologies. For example, Huawei Cyberverse, which allows virtual and real worlds to merge. In the demonstration, animals such as elephants and giraffes appeared on the scene.

Huawei Cyberverse requires centimeter-level high-precision positioning, hundreds of millions of high-density acquisitions, and large 100Mbps broadband transmission, Hu said.


"This will be a new entry point into the Internet, with some great potential for content and application development, and business model innovation," Hu said, adding that the technology can be applied to virtual education, intelligent cultural tourism, intelligent navigation, and other scenarios.

In addition, Huawei's factory in Dongguan has automated production with the support of 5G, reducing the number of workers by 80 percent while increasing efficiency by 300 percent; intelligent quality inspection has shortened inspection from two minutes to six seconds, while significantly increasing the yield rate.
