Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus and method for detecting steering information in which a plurality of torque sensors and sensors for sensing a rotation angle of a steering shaft are provided and thus it is possible to calculate steering information, such as a steering torque, a steering angle, etc., even upon occurrence of failure in some sensors. A plurality of torque sensors and absolute angle sensors (rotation angle sensors) are provided, and after it is determined whether an output value of each sensor is synchronized, a torque and a steering angle are calculated accordingly. Therefore, even upon occurrence of failure in some sensors, it is possible to calculate a torque and a steering angle normally, and thus steering control is possible.

Claim (Index 5):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein each of the torque sensors includes:\n an A sensor configured to sense an amount of rotation of the steering IS; and a B sensor configured to sense an amount of rotation of the steering OS, and the first synchronization checker determines that an i th  torque sensor (I=1, 2, 3, and 4) and a j th  torque sensor (j=1, 2, 3, and 4; i\u2260j) are synchronized only when a difference between an output value of an A or B sensor of the i th  torque sensor (i=1, 2, 3, and 4) and an output value of an A or B sensor of the j th  torque sensor (j=1, 2, 3, and 4; i\u2260j) is less than or equal to a threshold value.
