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 CPU51blinks LED56when an inquiry signal is received, and transmits a response to the inquiry signal when a user who has referred to lighting of the LED56operates a connection response button53. The connection response button53is operated when the user issues radio communications instructions with respect to the inquiry signal. In other words, even when wireless headphones2are within an area capable of radio communications with the master, only if the connection response button53is 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.
