DETAILED DESCRIPTION However, according to the related art method, since everyone can operate a projector and cause any type of data to be displayed by manipulating a controller, such as a PC, there may be cases where data having improper contents are projected on a screen. Moreover, on the contrary, when an audience member intends to ask a question about a presentation in a large conference room, the audience member must verbally give instructions to a presenter so as to cause the presenter to indicate the question point at issue, and thus it is impossible for the audience member to operate the projector at the audience member's location. Therefore, the present invention addresses or solves the above and/or other problems in the related art. The present invention provides a service providing system in which it is determined whether users have use authority to utilize a service providing apparatus, such as a projector, so that only users having the use authority can utilize the service providing apparatus. The invention also provides a service providing system and a service providing apparatus. In accordance with the invention, users are allowed the authority to utilize the service providing apparatus through entrance into an arbitrary place, or the like so that the service providing apparatus can be conveniently utilized. According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a service providing system to provide a specific service in response to the contents of instructions issued from a system user having use authority, including a service providing apparatus to provide the specific service, an instruction apparatus to give the instructions to the service providing apparatus, and a use authority determination device to determine whether the system user has the use authority. The specific service is provided in response to the instructions from the instruction apparatus manipulated by the system user who has been determined as having the use authority. With such a configuration, the use authority determination device can determine whether the system user has the use authority to utilize the service providing apparatus
