This invention solves various problems associated with apparatus
registration and communications after registration in an n:n
communication system based on, e.g., a Bluetooth protocol. Information of
a newly registered wireless communication apparatus is sent to already
registered wireless communication apparatuses. A communication with the
already registered apparatus starts by sending a Page message based on
the Bluetooth protocol. When an apparatus that output a registration
request in response to an Inquiry message based on the Bluetooth protocol
is selected, identification information of the selected apparatus is
stored. Upon registration, already registered apparatuses are not
displayed.
