Abstract
A method for managing deployment of input method engines (IMEs) to computing devices in proximate relation to endpoint devices within a data communication network includes receiving software logic data indicating deployment rules for deploying an IME executing on a first computing device in the data communication network to a second computing device in the data communication network. The method further includes receiving a software data structure identifying configuration preferences of a user of an endpoint device. The method further includes monitoring the usage of the IME. Monitoring may include obtaining usage data associated with the user's access to the IME through the second computing device. The method additionally includes determining, based on the monitoring and the software logic data and the software data structure, whether the threshold condition is satisfied and deploying the IME to the second computing device in when that the threshold condition is satisfied.
