Abstract

In response to the receipt of an inquiry sent out from a wireless headset 2 serving as a source wireless communication device, each of cellular phones 1a and 1b serving as prospective destinations determine whether it is currently able to provide a service, based on a current service provision environment concerning itself. Assuming that only the cellular phone 1a is currently able to provide a service, the cellular phone 1a sends an inquiry response to the presently received inquiry to the wireless headset 2. In response to the receipt of the inquiry response, the wireless headset 2 selects the cellular phone 1a which has returned the inquiry response as the destination. As a result, there is provided a wireless communication system which makes it possible for a source wireless communication device to establish a connection with a wireless communication device which is able to provide a service.
