Ubuntu releases mobile operating system will be built into cloud services

According to foreign media reports, Ubuntu yesterday through the network video demonstrated the development of the smartphone operating system. Like Android, Ubuntu is also based on Linux and is also a free open source operating system.

Ubuntu unveiled its new smartphone operating system via a virtual keynote address. The Ubuntu founder Mark Schuteworth (Mark Shuttleworth) describes the company's status and innovation efforts.

In the area of desktop systems, Ubuntu users are freed from the traditional experience. Ubuntu brings the internet to the user's desktop system, but in a different way than Google's Chrome OS.

Ubuntu brings its powerful search capabilities to mobile devices. The unique feature of the Ubuntu search is that it makes sense of what users are searching for--desktop systems, the Internet, and the cloud. A search can produce a large number of search results from different sources and combine search results.

Ubuntu's new mission is to make mobile devices human.

Ubuntu solves the problem of desktop-mobile integration. The current mobile operating system is completely different from the desktop operating system.

The first question that Ubuntu solves is how to make the operating system for the TV set applicable to mobile devices that the user can operate on one hand.

Launch the Ubuntu mobile operating system. The longer the user uses, the more knowledge the system has of users.

Forget the idea of a lock screen. Ubuntu wants users to see the "Welcome screen" first, and the "Welcome screen" is personalized and constantly changing. Notifications are more subtly displayed.

The Welcome screen is considered a visual representation of the user and will change as the user is used.

The Ubuntu OS is the first operating system to use each edge of the display to facilitate user-controlled devices. Each side has a specific function.

Users do not need to unlock the phone to use their favorite applications, the display on the side of the application number without any restrictions. The Ubuntu OS fully supports touch operations, and quick-click on the left side of the display triggers a customizable application bar.

This is the portion of the application bar that is enlarged. It's completely safe, but it's pretty easy to use. Users do not need to return to the main screen first. At the bottom of the application bar, users can easily unlock their phones.

By default, recently used applications are displayed in the center of the main screen. Users can customize the rest of the main screen with applications, search results, favorite contacts, music, and so on.

If you want to use the search function directly, users can click on the top of the display and start typing search keywords. Users can search for anything in the phone, the Internet, or the cloud.

The search and shopping experience is great and integrates everything. For example, if a user searches for the keyword "Tolkien", the search results provide the user with a movie download, books, movie tickets, and more.

Sliding from one screen to another makes it easy for users to access different pages, so the most important information is just one page away. The application screen shows the application that the user has installed. Scrolling down displays the applications available for installation.

The application of Ubuntu can be divided into two main categories--web-based applications based on HTML5, faster and more powerful native applications.

Users can use basic cell phone control functions from the top of the display. Click on the top of the screen once, in the mobile phone services, clocks, e-mail applications, sound and other sliding between the user can easily enter the various system settings.

The Ubuntu OS also offers a voice helper similar to Apple Siri, where the user simply speaks the search keyword and the phone returns the search results.

The new smartphone OS integrates Ubuntu's cloud computing services with Ubuntu one, and all users ' apps, music, and contacts are backed up in the cloud.

Overall, Ubuntu is more open and free than Apple iOS, and Ubuntu is more sophisticated than Android.

For Ubuntu, the real test is to organize the mobile developer community to develop applications for it, persuading hardware vendors to preinstall the operating system. In the real world, it is easier to really do this.

There are already 3 major mobile operating systems in the market: IOS, Android, and Windows Phone. RIM plans to release the BlackBerry 10 operating system January 30. But the reality is brutal, and it may be too late for the time to release the smartphone OS at the end of Ubuntu.
