7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the target area is an input area for information required to change the password of the target user account and includes a current-password area, a new-password area, a confirm-new-password area, and a security-text area.
8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the stored learning-based OCR algorithm is a learning algorithm that analyzes, across different GUI systems, login interfaces, positions of login tabs within the login interfaces, main interfaces, positions of password-change tabs within the main interfaces, password-change interfaces, and target areas included in the password-change interfaces, learns pattern values derived from analysis results, and identifies, using the pattern values, the location of the target area into which change-login information is to be reflected to change the password of the target user account.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a system that changes passwords by identifying, through a learning OCR (optical character recognition) algorithm, the location of a target area for change. More specifically, when at least one among a plurality of user accounts registered as members of a platform satisfies preset password-change conditions, the system logs into a pre-linked GUI system through login information for the user account that satisfied the password-change conditions, starts analyzing an interface output through the GUI system by using a stored learning OCR algorithm to identify the location of a target area required to change the user account's password, and changes the password by reflecting, to the identified location of the target area, change-login information necessary to change the password. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The global password management market was valued at USD 2.35 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow from USD 2.74 billion in 2024 to USD 9.14 billion by 2032, showing a CAGR of 16.2% from 2024 to 2032. A process that implements specific procedures to manage and protect passwords from start to end is called password management, and a centralized password-management procedure has been adopted. The centralized procedure is a method in which a central server manages users' passwords, and it has the advantage of excellent efficiency in managing users' passwords in bulk. However, when, due to a specific event, the central server side needs to change users' passwords, much time and manpower are consumed to change the passwords in bulk. Accordingly, the industry has been developing various technologies to solve the above problem. As an example, Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1689848 (“Password management system and password change method using the same”) discloses a technology in which a privileged account user automatically generates a password accessible when connecting to various servers and automatically stores and manages the generated password. However, the above prior art merely discloses a technology of granting authority to a specific account and storing and managing passwords for each of various servers that the specific account accesses. It does not disclose a technology in which, when at least one among a plurality of user accounts registered as members of a platform satisfies preset password-change conditions, the system logs into a pre-linked GUI system through login information for the user account that satisfied the password-change conditions, starts analyzing an interface output through the GUI system by using a stored learning OCR algorithm to identify the location of a target area required to change the user account's password, and changes the password by reflecting, to the identified location of the target area, change-login information necessary to change the password. Therefore, there is a need for a technology capable of solving this. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention was derived to solve the problems of the existing technologies described above. When at least one among a plurality of user accounts registered as members of a platform satisfies preset password-change conditions, the system logs into a pre-linked GUI system through login information for the user account that satisfied the password-change conditions, starts analyzing an interface output through the GUI system by using a stored learning OCR algorithm to identify the location of a target area required to change the user account's password, and changes the password by reflecting, to the identified location of the target area, change-login information necessary to change the password, thereby generally identifying the location of a tab (or area) for changing a user account's password in interfaces provided by the platform and automatically changing the user account's password promptly and conveniently. According to one embodiment of the present invention, in a system implemented by a computing device including one or more processors and one or more memories storing instructions executable on the processors, which changes passwords by identifying, through a learning OCR algorithm, the location of a target area for change, when at least one among a plurality of user accounts registered as members of a platform satisfies password-change conditions preset by an administrator account registered as a manager of the platform, a process-start unit starts a password-change process for a user account, among the plurality of user accounts, that satisfied the password-change conditions as a target user account; when the password-change process starts, an interface-analysis unit logs into a pre-linked GUI system through login information for the target user account and starts analyzing, by using a stored learning OCR (optical character recognition) algorithm, an interface output through the GUI system to identify, within the interface, the location of a target area required to c
