Magnetic helicity can be transported from sub-photosphere into corona by the emergence of helical magnetic field lines and the shuffling motions of foot-points of pre-existing coronal field lines. Active region NOAA 10930 was observed by SP and NFI of SOT on board Hinode when it pass through the solar meridian. Based on these observations, we calculate magnetic helicity flow of both terms, by regarding Doppler velocity as normal velocity. The results are compared with which calculated by method proposed by Zhang et. al. (2012). Our results show that helicity injection maps calculated by both methods have similar distribution and the integration values have the same magnitude.
