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.

What is claimed is: 1. A wireless communication apparatus comprising: a sending device configured to send an Inquiry message upon setting a registration mode for registering identification information of wireless communication terminals; a display device configured to display information associated with wireless communication terminals which output responses to the Inquiry message; a storage device configured to store identification information of the wireless communication terminal selected based on the information displayed by said display device; a denial device configured to deny, when said wireless communication apparatus receives an Inquiry message from a wireless communication terminal having identification information which is not stored in said storage device, a communication with the wireless communication terminal that sent the Inquiry message, unless said wireless communication apparatus receives a request for storing the identification information; a notification device configured to make, when said wireless communication apparatus receives the Inquiry message from the wireless communication terminal, a notification to an operator, upon receiving the request; and a registration device configured to register, in response to control by the operator based on the notification by said notification device, the identification information of the wireless communication terminal that sent the request. 2. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said wireless communication apparatus sends information associated with a wireless communication terminal, the information of which is newly stored, to wireless communication terminals, identification information of which has already been stored. 3. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said wireless communication apparatus sends information associated with wireless communication terminals, identification information of which has already been stored, to the wireless communication terminal, the information of which is newly stored. 4. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said display device displays information of only a wireless communication terminal, identification information of which is not stored, of the wireless communication terminals, which output responses to the Inquiry message. 5. The wireless communication apparatus according to claim 1, wherein when said wireless communication apparatus sends data to a wireless communication terminal, identification information of which is stored, during operation other than the registration mode, said wireless communication apparatus starts a connection sequence.
