It has been more than 100 years since the birth of the traditional radio which has brought great impact on human life, especially in the era when television and internet have not appeared, it is the best tool for people to obtain information and enjoy entertainment programs. However, due to the limited transmission distance and poor sound quality (except FM), the traditional radio is gradually marginalized due to the influence of the region and listening environment in additional to the less and less content. With the rapid development of various electronic technologies and the internet, we have entered the network era. At present, there are many network radio stations on the network. These network radio stations can provide real-time music or broadcast voice programs, or provide the recording and playback of the music and broadcast, which brings great convenience to people. These radio stations are generally listened through the network radio or computer with screen or key indication from the internet. However, as these usage interaction manners are not as convenient as that of the traditional radio, so many users report that the use experience is not good. In addition, the traditional computer is relatively large, and subject to the network circuit, people usually can only listen at home, or use a laptop to listen, but it is still more troublesome. Moreover, because the computers and mobile phones are not radios themselves, there are little radio core components such as high-quality audio processing components, power amplifiers, which can provide good user experience and high-quality audio effect.

The difference between the interactive device for an internet radio station provided by the embodiment and that in the embodiment 1 lies in that the knob 1 is physically connected with the selection module 2 through the contact module 6. In addition, the structure of the indication module 5 is also different.
In this embodiment, referring to
When the user rotates the knob 1 to input the station selection instruction, the knob 1 pulls the pull wire 53 to walk a certain track and drives the first pull wire wheel 61 to rotate. Then the first pull wire wheel 61 brings the rotation shaft 211 of the rotary potentiometer 21 to rotate, and the channel selection circuit generates an electrical signal corresponding to the channel selection instruction. The processing module 3 is linked to the network radio station through the communication module 4 in advance. When the processing module 3 receives the electrical signal, it obtains the audio resource corresponding to the electrical signal from the network radio station, and sends the audio resource to the content presentation unit. The content presentation unit receives and plays the audio resource. In such a way, the desired audio resource can be selected and listened by using the rotary tuning manner of the analog traditional radio. Meanwhile, the processing module 3 also drives the LED lamp to light up, then the lighted LED lamp can illuminate the dial to make the dial more obvious and easier to be observed by the user.
On the other hand, when the knob 1 is rotated for a certain angle, the pull wire 53 would bring the pointer 52 to move a certain distance along the dial. At this time, the pointer 52 is aligned with a certain scale value of the dial, so that the user can clearly know what kind of audio resources can be listened when the pointer 52 is aligned with the certain scale value on the dial. When the user wants to listen to the same audio resource next time, the user only needs to rotate the knob 1 so that the pointer 52 is aligned with the corresponding scale value. For example, when the pointer 52 is aligned with the scale value labeled “8” on the dial, the content presentation unit plays the audio resources of the humanities and social sciences class. Then, the next time when a user wants to listen to the audio resources of the humanities and social sciences class, he only needs to turn the knob 1 to enable the pointer 52 to align with the scale value labeled “8” on the dial.
Obviously, the interactive device for an internet radio station provided by the implementation of the present embodiment can achieve the same effect as that of the embodiment 1.
