Interesting but extremely complex for a simple problem.
Assuming you sync your calendars to the application, when an event is
marked as "quiet" or semantically, looks like a meeting, turn the
phone to vibrate. When the event's specified end time elapses, return
to the previous ring-state.
Use the data the user already has provided.
My 2 cents minus sales tax :)
