One or more patterns associated with a mobile device are determined. The one or more patterns are determined at least in part by identifying within a set of time information and location information associated with the mobile device a subset comprising successive locations and times associated with a temporary pattern, converting the temporary pattern to be a pattern of the one or more patterns, adding the pattern to a list of detected patterns, generating a reduced set of time information and location information at least in part by removing from the set of time information and location information the subset comprising the successive locations and times, analyzing the reduced set of time information and location information to determine one or more additional patterns. The mobile device can be configured to exhibit a mobile device behavior associated with the determined one or more patterns.
