The invention discloses an intelligent access control management method and system based on the Internet of Things. The method comprises the steps that an intelligent terminal is connected with an access control server in a communicating mode; the access control server receives an access instruction sent by the intelligent terminal; when the access control server verifies that the access instruction sent by the intelligent terminal is consistent with a preset correct instruction, the access control server controls the access control opening, so that an user is connected with the access controlserver by scanning an access control QR code in a communicating mode, then the user can input the access control instruction directly on the intelligent terminal, when the access control instructioninput by the user is correct, the access control opens, and the user can enter; inputting the instruction before the access control is not required, plagiarism by illegal persons is prevented, card wiping to enter the access control is not required, forgetting or loss of a card is not required to worry about, and manual management is not required; and labor costs are reduced, the efficiency of theaccess control is improved, convenience is brought to the user, and meanwhile, the security of the access control is improved.
