According to one embodiment, an electronic device executes a process for outputting a recognition result of a handwritten table including regions defined by a set of strokes. In embodiments, instructions which are located in two memory pages in a virtual memory system, such that one of the pages does not permit execution of the instructions located therein, are identified and then executed under temporary permissions that permit execution of the identified instructions. A second locking apparatus selectively locks the lift arm in place along the arc at an open position of the apparatus.
