Devices, systems and processes for facilitating seamless use of timers across multiple devices within a local area network

A process, for seamless use of timer provided by multiple user devices within a local area network, comprising:

• maintaining, by a first user device, a first user device schedule;
• wherein the first user device includes a first tuner;
• receiving, by the first user device and from a second user device, a second user device schedule;
• wherein the second user device includes a second tuner;
• populating, by the first user device, a first instance of a universal timer schedule based on
• the first user device schedule and the second user device schedule;
• wherein the first instance of the universal timer schedule identifies future scheduled uses of each of the first tuner and the second tuner;
• and
• wherein the second user device is configured to separately populate a second instance of the universal timer schedule based on the first user device schedule and the second user device schedule.

A user device, configured for use in facilitating seamless timer use across multiple devices within a local area network, comprising:

• a first tuner;
• a hardware processor configured to execute non-transient computer instructions for facilitating a first seamless engine further facilitating a first timer manager;
• a storage for storing a first timer schedule;
• a network. interface configured to communicatively couple the user device with a second user device over a local area network (LAN);
• wherein the second user device includes a second tuner and a second hardware processor storing a second timer schedule;
• wherein the first seamless engine and the first timer manger facilitate operations comprising:
• establishing a discovery session between the first user device and the second user device, via the LAN;
• communicating, during the discovery session, the first timer schedule to the second user device and receiving the second timer schedule from the second user device;
• and
• populating a first instance of a universal timer schedule identifying any scheduled uses of each of the first tuner and the second tuner;
• wherein the first timer schedule facilitates populating of a second instance of the universal timer schedule by the second user device;
• and
• wherein, during the session, scheduling of a future use of each of the first tuner and the second tuner is prioritized based on at least a request type.
