CONSTITUTION: An apparatus for remotely controlling screen saving in a data communication network includes a plurality of subscriber terminals(100), an operator and a plurality of information providers(400a-400n).

The operator provides information selected by a subscriber terminal as a screen saver data of the corresponding subscriber terminal in response to a screen saver setting request from the subscriber terminal. The information providers are connected to the operator through the data communication medium when the subscriber terminal requests information update to provide information the subscriber terminal wants as the screen saver data.
