Creating a calendar event by reading a QR code?

Question

Calendar

Inspired by today's topic about the next use of QR codes .
Just last week I was at the dentist and at the registration they gave me a printed reminder paper (the size of a cash receipt) when I need to come next time. I immediately create the corresponding calendar event in the phone. The thought arose, why not print a QR code on this piece of paper, transmitting information about the event to the calendar (which may contain the address and name of the doctor). And so I just have to confirm the creation of the event.
Is it possible (for example on Android) to trigger the recording of a calendar event as a result of reading a special QR code without using third-party applications (naturally, with the exception of an application that recognizes QR codes)?
In my opinion, this idea is as natural as automatically opening a link in a mobile browser after photographing a QR code, which now works on many modern phones out of the box.

Answer 1

There is a QR generator that encodes events in the iCalendar format , although apparently not all readers understand it, for example, the Scan application on iOS (the one that was RedLaser before buying it on Ebay) does not recognize it.

Answer 2

Yes, modern qr code generators have such a function, for example stqr.ru/generator/event

Answer 3

Hm. If there is a link to the calendar in the QR. Seems like it should work.

Answer 4

In theory, you can try. If you can make a link by which the event will be added to another user's calendar, like this .
