Up to now, AI technology is dominated by the Physical Symbolic System(PSS), in which symbolic information is used as the medium for reasoning, In these approaches, information other than symbols, such as image, graphics, and even video should first be represented by symbols, and after reasoning, the symbolic result is again changed into its original media form. In this paper, we will propose a new form of reasoning method called multimedia reasoning (MR), a kind of reasoning that is based on the different media such as text, image, video, audio and so on. By introducing the concept of multimedia transformation theory (MTT), it presents a conceptual framework for multimedia reasoning, In the end, it discusses the importance and potentials in applications.
