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 6):
The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the first synchronization checker compares relative rotation angle information, which is determined to be a differential value between an output value of an A sensor and an output value of a B sensor, of two or more synchronized torque sensors determined by comparing an output value of an A sensor and an output value of a B sensor, and determines a torque sensor outputting different relative rotation angle information to be in a failure state.
