Radio communication terminal having functions of master station or slave station
First Claim
1. A master station terminal used in a radio communications network in which one master station terminal and a plurality of slave station terminals communicate with each other, comprising:
- a radio communications part which detects the plurality of slave station terminals present in the radio communications network, and communicates with the slave station terminals; and
a control part which generates a selection signal selecting one of the slave station terminal detected by the radio communications part, and transmits the selection signal to the detected slave station terminal through the radio communications part.

Abstract
There is provided a Bluetooth apparatus which can be easily associated with a Bluetooth device address (BD-ADDR) in a Piconet. When a Bluetooth master apparatus selects a Bluetooth slave apparatus to be connected, the selected apparatus is clearly indicated by a selection notifying operation performed by the slave apparatus using a display or sound. When each slave apparatus has an identification number which is unique and well known, the number is returned to the master. The master apparatus registers such a number in association with a BD-ADDR.

1. A master station terminal used in a radio communications network in which one master station terminal and a plurality of slave station terminals communicate with each other, comprising:
-
a radio communications part which detects the plurality of slave station terminals present in the radio communications network, and communicates with the slave station terminals; and
a control part which generates a selection signal selecting one of the slave station terminal detected by the radio communications part, and transmits the selection signal to the detected slave station terminal through the radio communications part. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 9)

4. A slave station terminal used in a radio communications network in which one master station terminal and a plurality of slave station terminals communicate with each other, comprising:
-
a radio communications part which communicates with the one master station terminal present in the radio communications network;
a control part which recognizes a selection signal intended for the slave station terminal received from the master station terminal through the radio communications part; and
a selection notifying part which performs a notifying operation based on the selection signal. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 10)

7. A master station terminal used in a radio communications network in which one master station terminal and a plurality of slave station terminals each having an identification number specific thereto communicate with each other, comprising:
-
a radio communications part which detects the plurality of slave station terminals present in the radio communications network, and communicates with the slave station terminals; and
a control part which generates a request signal requesting the slave station terminals detected by the radio communication part to return the identification numbers of the slave station terminals, and causes the radio communications part to transmit the request signal to each of the detected slave station terminals sequentially;
wherein the radio communications part receives the identification number returned by each of the slave station terminals which have received the request signal, and the control part stores the returned identification number along with a slave station terminal name associated therewith, and notifies the slave station terminal name and the identification number thereof in association with each other, when a process of communicating with each of the slave station terminals is performed by the radio communications part.

8. A slave station terminal used in a radio communications network in which one master station terminal and a plurality of slave station terminals each having an identification number specific thereto communicate with each other, comprising:
-
a radio communications part which communicates with the one master station terminal present in the radio communications network; and
a control part which causes the radio communications part to return the identification number of the slave station terminal to the master station terminal in accordance with a request signal received from the master station terminal.
