The invention discloses a quick response access control method and system. The method comprises steps that S1, a user biological characteristic database is established; S2, other identity identification systems and the user biological characteristic database are utilized to establish a priority comparison database; S3, a secondary comparison database is formed according to the user biological characteristic database and the priority comparison database; S4, the user biological characteristic information is acquired; S5, the collected biological characteristic information is matched to the priority comparison database, if matching is successful, a door opening command is sent to control door opening, if matching is unsuccessful, the process proceeds to a S6; and S6, the biological characteristic information is matched with the secondary comparison database, if matching is successful, the door opening command is sent to control door opening, if matching is unsuccessful and fails, the process returns to the S4. The method is advantaged in that the comparison speed of biological characteristic identification access can be improved, the access user limit is enhanced, and thereby user experience is improved.
