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 17):
The method of  claim 16 , further comprising sensing deviation of a rotation member from an initial installation position at the steering IS or OS by using an offset sensing device including an interference member radially protruding from a circumferential surface of the steering IS or OS and an offset sensor installed on the rotation member fixed at one end of the steering IS or OS and generating an output signal according to movement relative to the interference member.
