Wireless communication system, wireless communication device, and control method for establishing a one-to-one relationship

A method of controlling a wireless communication device that includes a processing unit that performs a process of setting a communication parameter between the wireless communication device and an operated device different from the wireless communication device, the method comprising:

• detecting a user operation for setting the communication parameter at the wireless communication device;
• detecting an operated device different from the wireless communication device based on a signal transmitted by the operated device in response to a user operation for setting the communication parameter made at the operated device;
• performing the process of setting the communication parameter with the detected operated device;
• and
• wherein the process of setting the communication parameter is not performed and is terminated as a failure, if a plurality of operated wireless communication devices, at which user operations for setting the communication parameter have been made, is detected within a predetermined time period after the user operation at the wireless communication device is detected, wherein the terminating is performed, at least in part, by the processing unit.

A wireless communication device comprising:

• a wireless communication unit for communicating wirelessly;
• an operation unit for accepting a user operation for setting a communication parameter by a user;
• and
