Abstract

In a case when a wireless communication is carried out between a communication terminal apparatus and a wireless key apparatus in which one of the two apparatuses which carry out the communication becomes a master and the other one becomes a slave, the slave detects a signal from the master and the wireless communication is carried out by a wireless communication system executing the wireless connection between the two apparatuses, it is constituted such that each of the communication terminal apparatus and the wireless key apparatus includes communication means for carrying out the wireless communication, and control means; and in a case when the wireless communication state between the communication terminal apparatus and the wireless key apparatus is a non-connection state, the side which becomes the master is to transmit a signal asking for a “response from the slave” intermittently by changing the period into a plurality of steps in response to the non-connection time period and the side which becomes the slave is to carry out a reception for searching a signal from the master intermittently by changing the period into a plurality of steps in response to the non-connection tim…
