How many hands they play and how aggressive they play is a good place to start! Also raise sizing!
Eg (and I've seen these) guy raises who usually limps, another guy re raises and then the original person who normally limps re raises again.... they go all in and guy who usually limps has aces which is not a surprise at all! Pattern: sudden strong moves can mean strength!
2 a person barely plays any hands and finally plays one but the flop is low with no face cards so they check it to you and you bet and they fold. Pattern: even though they were the pre flop aggressor they checked on a low board and considering they barely play any hands they must only play face cards ie tight passive
3 person raises normally and you follow them to the flop they normally bet half pot or check but this time on a 789 flop they bet pot! It's possible they're bluffing but the last couple of times they bluffed they bet half pot, conclusion probably has a straight! Pattern: bet size suddenly changing....
Another thing should do is look on YouTube or google and find out what tight passive, thight aggressive, maniac, nit, loose passive and loose aggressive means in poker or on YouTube type in "poker player types" or something!
This way when you notice something you'll be able to put the behaviour into some sort of category!

I wonder if they all play a certain pattern. I believe that good players vary their strategy depending on the moment of the game, the position on the leaderboard, the position at the table ... They are much more variable than a single pattern. I don't know much about poker terminology, but in a single game you can see how certain players vary according to the progress of that game.

the best players balance their ranges, the worst call too much and raise too little. Watch for the hands they show down to get a perspective on how they are playing - do they call a raise with A7o in the HiJack? Do they limp utg with AA? Do they show down a bluff with hands that unblock draws?

You can be given a lot of advice on evaluating the actions of opponents, but I think it is easier for you to read several books on psychology and you will draw your own conclusions and, perhaps, find something new for yourself.
Look for books on poker psychology and new articles often appear on the Internet.

An effort is being made so that each player doesn't read his bet pattern, either.

I subscribe to this completely. Certain times (mtt player) in a tourney there are instances when you have to make decisions based on your stack that you usually wouldn't. If you're boss it's different, but most times you're not and it's kind of an ebb and flow imo. Also, traps are set up under this pretense by better players on a regular basis.

If playing online I would recommend investing in a HUD.
