Funshion

Funshion is a computer science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Funshion rather than just read about it. In short: Funshion is a Chinese peer-to-peer streaming video network software and website. The vast majority of content is from East Asia, mostly Mainland China, Japan, Korea.

Key takeaways

Funshion belongs to computer science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Funshion to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Funshion from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Funshion is a Chinese peer-to-peer streaming video network software and website. The vast majority of content is from East Asia, mostly Mainland China, Japan, Korea. It provides a free streaming service and also has its own brand of smart TV.

Company Beijing Funshion Online Technology Co Ltd was established in 2005. The company initially focused on broadcast, content search and distributing streaming media. Funshion Online was officially founded on September 28, 2005, with headquarters in Beijing, China. The company later partnered with SMG's BesTV. In January 2016, Luo Jiangchun was Funshion's CEO, and the company was working on product development with other companies such as Shanghai Oriental Pearl Media Co Ltd, Shenzhen MTC Co Ltd, Haier, Panda Electronics Group, and Gome Electrical Appliances Holding Ltd. On December 10, 2016, Funshion released its first smart TV model.

Applications Funshion Online Technologies Ltd develops video software and offers online video and audio platforms. In particular, Funshion provides on demand TV programs and movies to broadband users. Funshion uses peer-to-peer streaming technology and supports high-volume traffic. At one point the company claimed the site had 290,000,000 registered users and 60,000,000 daily users.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Funshion

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Funshion claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In computer science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Funshion before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Funshion ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Funshion

In research: Funshion appears in computer science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Funshion in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Funshion is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Chinese brands, File sharing networks, Internet broadcasting stubs, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Funshion outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.

Frequently asked questions

What is Funshion in simple terms?

Funshion is a Chinese peer-to-peer streaming video network software and website. The vast majority of content is from East Asia, mostly Mainland China, Japan, Korea.

Why does Funshion matter?

Because it connects several computer science ideas at once: it gives you a definition you can apply, a quantity you can calculate, and a way to check whether a result is plausible.

How should I study Funshion?

Read the excerpt, restate it from memory, then work through the examples and applications listed on this page. The five-step study plan above takes about twenty minutes.
