Method for quick navigation in a user interface, method for manufacturing a product from thermoplastic, plant control for quick navigation in a user interface and plant for manufacturing a product from thermoplastic

A method for quick navigation in a user interface for monitoring and controlling a machine or a plant for manufacturing a product of thermoplastic, the plant or machine having an extruder for plastification of a thermoplastic, the method comprising:

• displaying on an input interface a given operating page of a plurality of operating pages, wherein each operating page is associated with a unique input signal, and an association of each operating page and a respective unique input signal is stored in a database, wherein each unique input signal is one of a unique traced pattern in a point array and a unique gesture drawing, wherein the database comprises an input library comprising a plurality of linkages between a given input signal and an operating page of the plurality of operating pages, wherein the input library is individual for each user;
• receiving, via a touch screen of the input interface, an input signal, the input signal being one of a traced pattern in the point array and a gesture drawing;
• analyzing the received input signal relative to the database to identify another operating page of the plurality of operating pages;
• and
• navigating through the user interface of the machine or plant from the given operating page to the other operating page of the plurality of operating pages based on the analyzing.
