Proactive input method engine management for edge services based on crowdsourcing data

A system for preemptively deploying input method engines (IMEs) within a data communication network to computing devices in proximate relation to users of the IMEs, the system comprising:

• a mediator component configured to receive a software data structure, wherein the software data structure identifies configuration preferences of a user of IMEs, the configuration preferences associating the user with a configuration of one or more IMEs;
• and
• a service manager component coupled to the mediator component and the usage monitor component, the service manager component configured to:
• receive software logic data, wherein the software logic data indicates deployment rules for deploying IMEs to a first computing device in a data communication network, the rules indicating a set of threshold conditions for deploying IMEs to the first computing device;
• identify, based on the configuration preferences, a first IME deployed to execute on the first computing device, wherein the first IME was deployed to execute on the first computing device in response to the user's access to the first IME through the first computing device satisfying at least one of the set of threshold conditions;
• determine, based on the configuration preferences, that the user will access the first IME through a second computing device in the future;
• and
• deploy the first IME to second computing device before the future access.

A computer program product for preemptively deploying input method engines (IMEs) within a data communication network to computing devices in proximate relation to users of the IMEs, the computer program product including a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the program instructions executable by a processing circuit to cause the processing circuit to perform a method comprising:

• receiving software logic data indicating rules for deploying IMEs to a first computing device in a data communication network, the rules indicating a set of threshold conditions for deploying IMEs to the first computing device;
• receiving a software data structure identifying configuration preferences of a user of IMEs, the configuration preferences associating the user with a configuration of one or more IMEs;
• identifying, based on the configuration preferences, a first IME deployed to execute on the first computing device, wherein the first IME was deployed to execute on the first computing device in response to the user's access to the first IME through the first computing device satisfying at least one of the set of threshold conditions;
• determining, based on the configuration preferences, that the user will access the first IME through a second computing device in the future;
• and
• deploying the first IME to second computing device before the future access.
