Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies self-service by using the parasitic capacitance inherent in the coil structure itself as the filtering element. Instead of adding external filtering components that would increase complexity, the system exploits the coil's own parasitic capacitance to filter noise, making the filtering function self-generated and eliminating the need for additional passive components.
