1. An apparatus for controlling an electromechanical brake system, comprising:
a brake pedal detector unit configured to detect an amount of a driver's stepping on a brake pedal;
a braking module configured to brake a vehicle having front and rear wheels;
a data storage storing slope variable braking data generated based on a characteristic value of the vehicle; and
a processor configured to:
calculate a braking request value based on the detected stepping amount;
determine, based on the slope variable braking data, a brake distribution ratio between the front and rear wheels corresponding to the braking request value; and
output, to the braking module, the determined brake distribution ratio;
wherein:
the slope variable braking data includes a braking curve of a rear wheel braking clamping force with respect to a front wheel braking clamping force,
the braking curve is a curve connecting a first set point of a first ideal braking curve based on a curb vehicle weight and a second set point of a second ideal braking curve based on a gross vehicle weight at an initial braking, and
the braking curve has (1) a first portion with a first slope extending from the initial braking to the first set point of the first ideal braking curve based on the curb vehicle weight and (2) a second portion with a second slope, greater than the first slope, extending from the first set point to the second set point of the second ideal braking curve based on the gross vehicle weight.
