Identifying human behavior patterns embedded in massive mobile phone data records is a research hotspot and difficulty of study in geography. While lots of researches are aiming at investigation of the mobility characteristics of mobile phone users, studies focusing on the stay of mobile phone users and their stay patterns are relatively little. The spatio-temporal heterogeneous regularity is vital for understanding the urban human dynamic and optimizing urban system. Therefore, this paper explored the stay patterns of mobile phone users in order to understand the human mobility patterns and their features. According to the spatial and temporal constraints of human routine and travel behavior, this paper defined the stay conditions and the stay patterns of urban mobile phone users, and come up with methods of identifying and extracting stay patterns from massive mobile phone data records. Then, we took about 7.9 million mobile phone users’ one day data records in Shenzhen City in China as an example, processed them with the designed method, and identified some typical stay patterns which covered about 98% of the urban mobile phone users. In addition, we conducted statistical analysis for urban mobile phone users’ stay patterns and analyzed their spatial distribution with respect to different administrative districts combining with the city’s land use pattern. Furthermore, we dissected the heterogeneous characteristics of the spatial distribution of different stay pattern’s users and the stay frequencies against different administrative districts over a 22-hour period. The study shows: (1) 15 types of stay patterns can cover 98% urban mobile phone users’ behavior and their stay locations are no more than 4 in one day. The stay patterns with 2 stay locations shows the highest probability that nearly half of the mobile phone users have this tendency. (2) The spatial distribution of the 15 stay patterns in the city is evidently heterogeneous, which is subjected to the urban land use. We found that the higher proportion of leisure and entertainment land in a certain administrative district, the stay patterns with more stay locations in this region are likely to occur. (3) The heterogeneity of the stay frequency for different urban administrative district is strongly related to its permanent resident population, population density and major function of the district. The study conclusions are useful in understanding the population characteristics of urban phone users’ behavior, the activity patterns and urban residents’ commuting behavior. Moreover, it can provide important references for scientific decisions of urban land use, urban transportation planning and prediction.
