1. A method comprising:

  • validating, through a digital platform, a user of the digital platform as a publisher of a message as a digital media file;

    encoding, through the digital platform, the digital media file associated with the message with decodable data using a unique identifier, the decodable data in one instance being an audio stream at a frequency audible to a human ear and in another instance being an audio stream at an ultrasound frequency inaudible to the human ear;

    generating, through the digital platform, a modified digital media file from the digital media file based on the encoding of the digital media file associated with the message with the decodable data such that an audio stream associated with the modified digital media file encoded with the decodable data is interpretably indistinguishable from a primary audio stream associated with the digital media file through the human ear;

    capturing, through a client application of a mobile device of a client user of the digital platform, the modified digital media file playing on a broadcasting device to generate capture data therefrom based on metadata associated with the mobile device;

    generating, through the digital platform, response action of the client user based on analyzing the capture data from the mobile device to extract elements therefrom and comparing the extracted elements to data stored in a database;

    associating, through a processor and a memory of the digital platform, the response action of the client user in an interactive form to the message of the publisher, wherein the response action is at least one of a call-back action, a web-form action, and a resource-page redirect action for the client application of the mobile device of the client user, the call-back action being one of;

    triggering of a phone call to the publisher via a user interface of the client application and a button action via the user interface of the client application, the web-form action being display of a set of forms chosen by the publisher on the user interface of the client application, and the resource-page redirect action being display of a webpage through at least one of;

    the user interface of the client application and a browser of the mobile device;

    automatically interpreting, through the client application, the modified digital media file in both the one instance and the another instance to decode the decodable data therein;

    enabling, through the client application, the client user to initiate the response action in the interactive form to the message of the publisher without interrupting an experience of concurrent sensing of media content through the broadcasting device by the client user in accordance with the automatic interpretation of the modified digital media file and the association of the response action, the message accompanying the media content being sensed by the client user; and

    via the digital platform, providing, through the client application, a capability to the client user to control data thereof generated through the initiated response action within the digital platform instead of the client user being limited to predefined capabilities within the digital platform.
