ABSTRACT:
An information processing apparatus including detection units to detect physical quantities as targets for detection, and a control unit to measure a physical quantity based on a result of detection by a first detection unit and also to control a supply of power to a second detection unit in response to a result of measurement of the physical quantity. The second detection unit includes a first positioning unit to execute positioning outdoors, and a second positioning unit to execute positioning indoors. When it is determined from a dose of ultraviolet rays measured based on a result of detection by the first detection unit that the control unit is present outdoors, the control unit sets a higher priority to the first positioning unit as compared to the second positioning unit, and controls a supply of power so that positioning is executed only by the first positioning unit.
