I am wondering,
Is that possible if i open up a web browser and walking with my phone which sends web bluetooth beacon so that others can discover me
Unfortunately no. Web browsers on Android and iOS do it support advertising using Web Bluetooth.

I try to build a Google Assistant app with Dialogflow.
And it works, I can test the "testversion" of my assistant app on my mobile phone too. It works as expected.
But unfortunately if I use my android wear, it tells me that this app is not supported on this device.
On Dialogflow, I couldn't find a option to enable wearables devices.
Can someone help me to enable wearable support?
Kind Regards
Stefan

To use your Google Assistant on your watch, you’ll need:
A watch running Android Wear 2.0 and up
A Google Account on the watch
Phone’s language set to a language listed above
An Internet connection on your watch via a Bluetooth connection through Wi-Fi or cellular connection
I have a phone and a simple site providing a list of numbers and names.
Is it possible to pair my phone with browsers via Bluetooth and pass an incoming number to the site in order to show the name of the caller? If the number isn't listed you have to fill it. So, I want to type using the Desktop browser and receive a call using a phone.
I'm using a web platform to store my client base. I tend to keep it on the web without coding Desktop API.
Typically, when you have something like a Bluetooth headset, the headset is a peripheral.
central -> peripheral
-----------------------
headset model | phone -> headset
desktop model (A) | phone -> browser
desktop model (B) | browser -> phone
(A) is currently impossible with Web Bluetooth because, as of now, Web Bluetooth only supports using the web browser as a central, not a peripheral.
(B) may be possible, but it really depends on the mobile OS. You would have to introduce special app to replace or augment the phone app on the mobile device so that it would act as a peripheral.
Is Web Bluetooth implemented in Safari? How can web apps that use Web Bluetooth on their pages work on Apple iphones and ipads?
Safari has not implemented the Web Bluetooth specification, however WebBLE is an open source browser implementation that supports Web Bluetooth.
You can have users use WebBLE directly, or use the code to build your own hybrid app that wraps your web app.
I am working on Gimbal Beacons. I have registered my gimbal beacon on Google Beacon DashBoard. Now I can receive notification on any android device using my gimbal beacon. Now I want to do the same thing for iPhones. So that when an iPhone user opens bluetooth in beacon's range then a notification is received on iPhone. Please help me..!
Apple does not have an equivalent of Google's Nearby functionality that allows Android devices with Google Play Services to receive notifications when a beacon is in vicinity without a third party app installed.
On iOS devices, a third part app is generally required to send notifications for nearby beacons. Only one built-in app and one fairly common add-on app allow on iOS respond to third party beacons:
Passbook: if a user has installed a pass associated with a beacon, a notification will be displayed when it is nearby.
Google Chrome: responds to Eddystone-URL beacons if the Chrome Today widget gas been enabled. (Very few iOS users have Chrome and enable this.)
Other than the above, you need a third party app to make iOS respond to beacons.
Can i know is it possible to communicate with Beacon without having any Mobile app on device?
Thanks in advance
Both Android and iOS devices need some kind of app installed to interact with your beacons. Some phones have such apps pre-installed, but the options are limited. The two such apps with the widest distribution are:
Google Chrome App (Android/iOS)
Google's Chrome app will interact with beacons supporting Eddystone-URL (also known as physical web), which transmit a URL that can be displayed within Chrome when the app detects it.
This works on both Android and iOS devices with Chrome installed. For newer Android phones, this is a relatively high percentage of devices. For iOS, it is a very small percentage, as the app is not installed by default. This makes it of very limited use on iOS.
The other real drawback to relying on Chrome for beacon detection is the hoops users have to jump through to opt-in, and the way the beacon notifications are buried. Until users opt-in, they will see no notifications on beacon detections. Once they do, they will see a very generic notification "Physical web beacons are nearby", and only once the user taps on that are the specifics about the web page associated with the beacon transmitted URL displayed.
Passbook (iOS)
Apple's passbook app will bring up a passbook entry (usually used for tickets, coupons, etc.) associated with a set of iBeacon identifiers if the user comes within range of the beacon. In order to use this, however, the user must first download the passbook entry to his or her iPhone. Only once this is downloaded and opened will the app respond to associated beacons.
EDIT April 2020: For a time prior to December 2018 Google supported app-less notifications based on beacon detection using their Google Nearby product. This was discontinued in December 2018 due to predictable abuse and spam that it generated. While you may find some outdated documentation online about this ability, understand that this feature no longer works. As of this writing, my understanding is that this answer is still correct.
You should checkout Eddystones from Google. They can push you URLs even without app.
If you want to interact with beacons and do custom stuff (notifications, http requests, etc) you will need an app.
