[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to an in-vehicle occupant communication device, a vehicle, a control method, a medium, and a program. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, direct communication between passengers in the vehicle can easily lead to distraction and affect driving safety. To address this, a vanity mirror can be used to observe passengers in the vehicle. Currently, vanity mirrors can provide users with makeup recommendations or help them observe the situation outside the vehicle. There are also technologies that install vanity mirrors on the headrests of the front seats for use by rear passengers.

[0003] However, vanity mirrors can only provide services or allow the current user to observe the situation outside the vehicle. They cannot observe the situation inside the vehicle or interact with other passengers. When there are children or unfamiliar passengers in the back seat, it is inconvenient for the driver to see and cannot provide effective safety support. During the vehicle's operation, communication between the front and rear passengers is affected by music and noise, and their seating orientation also makes it impossible to convey facial expressions and lip movements. Manually adjusting the rearview mirror inside the vehicle to check the situation in the back seat greatly reduces communication efficiency. Summary of the Invention
