calculate a third relative position of the target feature relative to the preview image data based on the first pixel coordinate; and

upon receiving an image generation instruction;

generate a target image data of the preview image data, wherein the target image data comprises a second length-width ratio different from the first length-width ratio;

determine a second pixel coordinate relative to the target image data based on the third relative position, the first length-width ratio, and the second length-width ratio;

embed the target information into the target image data after the target image data is generated by the image acquisition device at the second pixel coordinate relative to the target image data; and

store the target image data embedded with the target information in an image storage of the image acquisition device.

2. The image acquisition device according to claim 1, wherein to acquire the target information the processor is directed to, when receiving a select instruction, performing at least one of:

extract the feature image corresponding to the select instruction;

read the current time information from an operating system of the image acquisition device; and

acquire current geographical coordinate information of the image acquisition device and query for the geographical location information corresponding to the current geographical coordinate information.

3. The image acquisition device according to claim 1, wherein to load the target information in the second window the processor is further directed to:

when receiving a move instruction, alter a position of the target feature in the second window according to the move instruction.
