  • Patent number: 9860367
    Abstract: Recognizing and utilizing dial patterns of a mobile electronic device includes detecting an input sequence, recording the input sequence when the input sequence is detected, and determining whether the input sequence is a reoccurring pattern. If the input sequence is a reoccurring pattern, the input sequence is stored in a repository as a dial pattern that is assigned to a call number. When a call number is detected in a dialer, the dial pattern is then presented to the dialer, and the dial pattern is dialed upon establishing a connection with the call number.
