First Claim
1. A first radio communication apparatus configured for short range wireless radio communication with a second radio communication apparatus, the first radio communication apparatus comprising:
- first input means for receiving a user input that configures the first radio communication apparatus to broadcast an inquiry signal, wherein a unique identification for the second radio communication apparatus is not specified in the inquiry signal from the first radio communication apparatus;
receiving means for receiving predetermined information from the second radio communication apparatus, wherein the predetermined information is sent in response to user input to the second radio communication apparatus; and
communicating means for communicating, using short range wireless radio, with the second radio communication apparatus based on the predetermined information.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a radio communication apparatus and a radio communications method, a radio communication system, a recording medium, and a computer program in which a response signal to an inquiry is returned to a master only when instructions to perform radio communications are issued. A CPU 51 blinks LED 56 when an inquiry signal is received, and transmits a response to the inquiry signal when a user who has referred to lighting of the LED 56 operates a connection response button 53. The connection response button 53 is operated when the user issues radio communications instructions with respect to the inquiry signal. In other words, even when wireless headphones 2 are within an area capable of radio communications with the master, only if the connection response button 53 is operated by the user, it sends to the master a response to the inquiry, and establishes connection. The present invention may be applied to a wireless storage server, wireless headphones, and audio reproduction apparatuses.
