On April 10, 2018, vivo and Qualcomm held a media communication meeting in Shenzhen with the theme of artificial intelligence assistant Jovi.
During the activity, Qualcomm representatives talked about the composition of Qualcomm AI Engine. The latter is the source of Snapdragon 660 AIE suffix:
Its hardware is distributed in the CPU, GPU and DSP in the Snapdragon series SoC, responsible for the network composition and operation of FP32, FP16 and INT8;
The software part is Snapdragon Neural Processing SDK, Android NN and Hexagon NN (the DSP part of Qualcomm SoC);
The AI/deep learning framework used includes Facebook's Caffe/Caffee2, Google's TensorFlow/TensorFlow Lite, and ONNX
The Snapdragon neural processing SDK in the software part includes fixed-point and floating-point optimization, new TensorFlow Lite support, and network optimization of lines.
Jovi = enjoy vivo’s AI
For vivo, it is mainly responsible for applying the artificial intelligence of Snapdragon AIE to practical use. The direct result is Jovi AI assistant in X21 series. Since Siri/Assistant/Cortana was in full swing, AI has become a wind vane in the scientific and technological world. More and more mobile phone brands have entered this field. Compared with the view that AI is an independent module and new development is carried out around AI, in vivo's view, AI is not to overthrow the existing reconstruction, but should be a supplement and help to existing functions. The X21 equipped with AI can look, listen and think for the user just like the user's friends. When encountering questions, it can always answer questions quickly and provide high-quality solutions. Moreover, AI can timely remind users of some details that they have not thought of or ignored. "We are committed to creating extraordinary use experience and the combination of fashion and technology through artificial intelligence, so Jovi should bring technology with temperature, so that consumers can enjoy the different lifestyle brought by technological innovation."
If it is explained in the most popular way, it should be that the user of vivo X21 does not need to learn how to use AI mobile phones. Instead, the mobile phone will learn to understand the user. From daily life to travel to work, it will continue to provide the most needed information for the user. When he focuses on something, it will help him to shield unwanted interference, so that he can easily use it everywhere without adapting.
Jovi's characteristics under the deep cooperation of AIE
As an AI system on vivo X21, Jovi's main feature is intelligent scene application, which can help users better manage life and work things. The intelligent scene can aggregate the important information content on X21, and can intelligently identify the reminders of various time nodes and travel conditions in the user's life. The reminders can be viewed in one place, which is efficient and convenient. With the blessing of Jovi AI assistant, useful information will automatically appear in front of users, and users will have a better and more intuitive experience when using X21,.
Jovi assistant has the system's global level intelligent screen recognition function. In addition to the desktop and lock screen, the screen recognition function can be triggered by long pressing a paragraph of text in the interface. This function will quickly identify and intelligently extract the text information that the user has pressed for a long time, and then the user can quickly view/expand this information and related operations.
In addition to daily life experience, Jovi allows users to be more relaxed in the process of using smart phones. Its intelligent prediction of application actions, identification of switching operations, application startup and switching speed have been greatly improved, and it predicts the next operation preload; According to the user's usage habits and common scenarios, a targeted CPU configuration strategy is adopted to make the processor and battery resource configuration more reasonable.
Jovi will also improve the user experience in taking photos. On the basis of the previous generation of intelligent beauty and backlight selfie, it is expanded to multi scene AI scene recognition photography. When taking photos, various parameter settings are automatically adjusted according to the picture scene. At the same time, the new artificial intelligence algorithm is integrated, and the new "Jovi Beauty" is added, which can achieve a more real-time and natural beauty effect.
Jovi's heart, artificial intelligence engine
If Jovi AI is a brain that analyzes users' use environment and fits users' needs, the concept processor of the Atificial Intelligence Engine launched by Qualcomm since February 2018 is the heart of Jovi's continuous blood transfusion.
AIE (Artificial Intelligence Engine) is composed of multiple hardware and software to accelerate the implementation of terminal AI user experience on some Qualcomm Mobile platforms. Heterogeneous computing scheme with Snapdragon Neural Processing Engine (NPE) software framework and Neural Network (NN) library as the interface. This heterogeneous computing solution has become the driving force of Jovi AI because of its widely accepted logic, high compatibility, and accurate and huge computing power.
From the technology of AIE, Jovi has more humanized perception. Through the neural engine and neural network library, it can realize faster and more efficient running of AI applications. Using AI algorithms, it can go from more accurate and natural backlight detection to faster intelligent screens, and even get further optimized AI game engines. It can also carry out simple data operations and AI heterogeneous operations simultaneously, allowing users to use X21 more casually. As a chip manufacturer and mobile phone manufacturer, vivo X21 has become the first product integrating AIE and Jovi. Vivo and Qualcomm can take this opportunity to improve user experience, receive user feedback, and constantly optimize existing computing.
Vivo&Qualcomm, let mobile phones understand you better
The core of AI of mobile phones or mobile devices is to understand users, which is obviously a demand of thousands of people and faces. Vivo is not only a leader in technology, but also hopes to present the technology that is not easily perceived by consumers as functions and fun that can be enjoyed by consumers through the digestion and operation of technology. This goal has always been a part of Vivo's pursuit of "continuously creating surprises for consumers". Jovi's goal is to let consumers forget the existence of technical concepts, and gradually immerse themselves in the fun of using AI.
