Welcome to iMore!

Can you be a bit more specific? Not sure what "pattern of answering" means.

Perhaps you are talking about the talk (green) and hangup red) buttons?
Red hangup button shows up only when the phone is unlocked.
Otherwise, you have to slide the screen to unlock when the phone rings. Apple say it is for the safety to prevent accidentally picking up the phone while in pocket etc, but some think it's inconvenience .
As far as I know, you have to jailbreak your phone so that you see both red and green button even on the lock screen. One of my phones is jailbroken and I use a simple app called Cou, but Callbar seems to be popular.
