4. A radio communication system comprising:
-
a radio communication apparatus having a communication part for transmitting a request signal requesting a response to a radio tag; and a radio tag which transmits a response signal in response to the reception of the request signal from the radio communication apparatus, wherein the radio communication apparatus comprises; a remaining amount detecting part for detecting a remaining amount of a radio communication apparatus battery which is an electric power source of the radio communication apparatus; a comparing part for comparing remaining amount information, indicating the detected remaining amount, with a reference value; and an intermittent control part which makes the communication part continuously transmit the request signal when it is determined that the value indicated by the remaining amount information is not less than the reference value based on the comparison by the comparing part, and makes the communication part transmit the request signal at an interval of a given stop time during a given operation time when it is determined that the value indicated by the remaining amount information is less than the reference value. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8)

10. A radio communication apparatus comprising:
-
a communication part for performing radio communication with another apparatus; a remaining amount detecting part for detecting a remaining amount of a battery which is an electric power source; a comparing part for comparing remaining amount information, indicating a value based on the detected remaining amount, with a reference value; and an intermittent control part which makes the communication part perform continuous communication when it is determined that the value indicated by the remaining amount information is not less than the reference value based on the comparison by the comparing part, and makes the communication part perform communication at an interval of a given stop time during a given operation time when it is determined that the value indicated by the remaining amount information is less than the reference value.
