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 12):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n rotation members fixed at one end of the steering IS and one end of the steering OS and configured to rotate with the steering IS and OS; interference members formed to protrude from circumferential surfaces of the steering IS and OS; and an offset sensor installed on at least one of the rotation members and configured to sense movement of the interference members.
