Abstract: In an information processing apparatus, a communication unit communicates with notifying apparatuses that store position information thereof and notifies, in a case in which a communication is made with first terminals that are held by respective users, identification information of the first terminals and the position information, and in a case in which a communication is made with a second terminal that is mounted on a screen, identification information of the second terminal and the position information. A control unit obtains an estimated value of distances between the screen and the users, from distances between the second terminal and each of the first terminals, based on the position information received from the notifying apparatuses, and determines a lamp power to be set to a projection apparatus that projects video on the screen, based on the estimated value.
