Enhancing karaoke systems utilizing audience sentiment feedback and audio watermarking

A system for an enhancement to a karaoke system comprising:

• a personalization engine, comprising hardware, configured to embed a digital marker into the audio signal of an digital A/V content, wherein the marker is associated with a time index of the digital A/V content and a unique user identity associated with a computing device;
• and
• a data store able to persist at least one of the digital A/V content, a different A/V content, and an audio watermark mapping;
• and
• a component, comprising hardware, configured to:
• detect an utterance associated with a consumer interacting with playback of the digital A/V content;
• and
• when the utterance matches a previously established keyword tag, automatically embedding the marker, which is a digital marker associated with a consumer and the digital A/V content that was selected by the consumer, into the digital A/V content at a time index of the utterance's occurrence.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer usable program code embodied therewith, the computer usable program code comprising:

• computer usable program code stored in the non-transitory storage medium, if said computer usable program code is executed by a processor it is operable to select a karaoke content within a computing device session, wherein the karaoke content is a user generated content, wherein the content is a form of interactive entertainment in which an amateur singer sings along with a previously recorded music;
• and
• computer usable program code stored in the non-transitory storage medium, if said computer usable program code is executed by a processor it is operable to insert a watermark into the karaoke content, wherein the watermark is associated with at least one of a singer and a listener, wherein the watermark is tied to at least one of an embedded content and an action, wherein the watermark is associated with a time index of the karaoke content;
• and
• computer usable program code stored in the non-transitory storage medium, if said computer usable program code is executed by a processor it is operable to detect an utterance associated with a consumer interacting with the playback of the karaoke content, and when the utterance matches a previously established keyword tag, automatically embedding a digital marker associated with a consumer and the karaoke content that was selected by the consumer into the karaoke content at a time index of the utterance's occurrence.
