Accept user input in capital or lower case

How can i make java accept user input in capital or lower case? I tried using equalsIgnoreCase() but i didn't work.

System.out.println("Rock, Paper Or Scissor?");
user = input.next().equalsIgnoreCase();

System.out.println("You entered: " + user); 

System.out.println("Computer entered: " + computer);

//user options
if(user.equals("rock") && computer.equals("rock"))
{
    System.out.println("Play again!");
}
else if(user.equals("rock") && computer.equals("scissor"))
{
    System.out.println("You won!");
}

Try this ;) 

user = input.next().toLowerCase();

Thanks. The option .toLowerCase() worked. 

  System.out.println("Rock, Paper Or Scissor?");
            user = input.next().toLowerCase();

            System.out.println("You entered: " + user); 

            System.out.println("Computer entered: " + computer);

            //user options
            if(user.equals("rock") && computer.equals("rock"))
            {
                System.out.println("Play again!");
            }
            else if(user.equals("rock") && computer.equals("scissor"))
            {
                System.out.println("You won!");
            }

String::equalsIgnoreCase takes a String and return a boolean :

public boolean equalsIgnoreCase(String anotherString)

So equalsIgnoreCase should be used like this :

if(user.equalsIgnoreCase("rock") && computer.equalsIgnoreCase("rock"))

And 

if (user.equalsIgnoreCase("rock") && computer.equalsIgnoreCase("scissor"))

Not like this :

user = input.next().equalsIgnoreCase();
