Image capture device with a datastore for process component integration

An image capture device, comprising:

• a housing;
• an image sensor carried by the housing and configured to generate a visual output signal conveying visual information based on light that becomes incident thereon, the visual information defining visual content;
• an optical element carried by the housing and configured to guide light within a field of view to the image sensor;
• non-transitory, machine-readable storage media carried by the housing and configured to store information organized in a datastore, the datastore configured to provide information storage for multiple process components executed by the image capture device, wherein information stored within the datastore so as to establishes indirect connections between different process components with access to the datastore;
• and
• one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to control capture and/or processing of the visual content by the image capture device using one or more of the multiple process components executed by the image capture device, individual process components executed by the image capture device not having direct connections with other individual process components, wherein the datastore establishes indirect connection between a first process component and a second process component, the first process component not having direct connection with the second process component, wherein the first process component retrieves first information from the datastore, processes the first information to generate second information, and stores the second information in the datastore, and the second process component retrieves the second information from the datastore, processes the second information to generate third information, and stores the third information in the datastore, wherein the information stored within the datastore includes the first information, the second information, and the third information;
• wherein:
• the datastore is further configured to store related information on usage of the datastore by the multiple process components, the related information on the usage of the datastore by the multiple process components including information on which process component stored a piece of information in the datastore, when the piece of information was stored, which process component accessed the piece of information in the datastore, and when the piece of information was accessed;
• and
• the related information on the usage of the datastore by the multiple process components is retrieved from the datastore to determine a history of write and read actions by the multiple process components executed by the image capture device.

A method for utilizing a datastore for process component integration, the method performed by an image capture device including one or more processors, an image sensor, an optical element, and non-transitory, machine-readable storage media, the image sensor configured to generate a visual output signal conveying visual information based on light that becomes incident thereon, the visual information defining visual content, the optical element configured to guide light within a field of view to the image sensor, the non-transitory, machine-readable storage media configured to store information organized in the datastore, the datastore configured to provide information storage for multiple process components executed by the image capture device, wherein information stored within the datastore so as to establishes indirect connections between different process components with access to the datastore, the method comprising:

• controlling capture and/or processing of the visual content using one or more of the multiple process components executed by the image capture device, wherein:
• individual process components executed by the image capture device do not have direct connections with other individual process components;
• the datastore establishes indirect connection between a first process component and a second process component, the first process component not having direct connection with the second process component;
• the first process component retrieves first information from the datastore, processes the first information to generate second information, and stores the second information in the datastore;
• and
• the second process component retrieves the second information from the datastore, processes the second information to generate third information, and stores the third information in the datastore, wherein the information stored within the datastore includes the first information, the second information, and the third information;
• wherein:
• the datastore is further configured to store related information on usage of the datastore by the multiple process components, the related information on the usage of the datastore by the multiple process components including information on which process component stored a piece of information in the datastore, when the piece of information was stored, which process component accessed the piece of information in the datastore, and when the piece of information was accessed;
• and
• the related information on the usage of the datastore by the multiple process components is retrieved from the datastore to determine a history of write and read actions by the multiple process components executed by the image capture device.
